I haven't had a lot of time to blog this week. It's been kind of busy with Vacation Bible School and such. I don't have any pictures, but I do have a few words to say. 🙂

Serving in the kitchen and bringing meeting new people has been joyful.

Swimming laps with my new *BFF* and going to bed exhausted has brought me joy.

Having breakfast with a *newish* friend has brought me joy.

Having my oldest son show up unexpectedly always brings me joy. 

Our Wednesday nights with Miss Kathleen ALWAYS make me smile.

But, I think the thing that has really warmed my heart this week is…

That the Talented One is working with four year olds this week at VBS. Completely out of his comfort zone, and not feeling 100%, he has still been there each morning to teach them about God.

B-boo has gotten up early and left the house each morning by 7 am to get to the church on time. 🙂 She's been watching the little ones, then helping with the 5th and 6th graders. And loving it.

And the Smart One. It's been so much fun to watch him up on stage helping to teach 260+ children the dance moves to *Saddle Ridge Ranch.* And then, he goes and helps with the preschoolers.

And the younger ones spend the week learning new things about Jesus. 

The week is almost over, but it's definitely been full of joy.
