An Extra Serving of Kindness Please
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud.” 1 Corinthians
13:4
Kindness and
patience were today’s key words in our theme and of course I was struck with my
lack thereof while driving to the church for VBS.
Each age group
has three centers; Story Telling, Crafts, and Theme Activities, each supporting
the daily theme and overall goal of the VBS and I am the theme leader. In
keeping with the Son Treasure Island motif we did a tropical fruit blind-taste
test and then shared the remaining fruit following our kindness discussion with
sharing being the evidence of kindness just as Jesus shares His love and gave
His life for us.
My observations
from today’s activities are that when it comes to sharing bananas are difficult
and papayas are a simple thing. Tomorrow I intend to seek out and observe acts
of kindness in the midst of the flurry of activity.
God grant us
the determination to share our favorite things along with those things we can
easily live without. Grant me the serenity on the road to not make others the
objects of distain but to pray for their safety.
