Christmas V.B.S

Tonight was the start of our Church's vbs for Christmas.  It was fun and hard at the same time. The hard part was we had to teach all of Matt 1 to Matt 2:23 and Luke 1 to 2:7 in 35 minutes!   I read the 4th grade class I am teaching part of each, then we talked. They loved it when I talked to them about what a manger was really.  So many of the children thought it was a crib of some type.  I told them that it is a food bowl for animals.  I got them laughing and gross at the same time by telling them that animals ate out of that manger , they licked the manger, maybe had snot from their nose in there, they loved it (it was fun)  Next I read from " The Adventure of Christmas By Lisa Whelchel".  I read about tradition ask about some of theirs (this was fun).  I also talked to they about the best gift in the world, Jesus.  How He gives us the best gift ever and how some people never even look at the gift from Him.  How would they feel if they worked hard to earn enough money to buy someone a really special gift and that person never even looked at it  or took it and then gave it back unopened ???  How would they feel???   How do you think Jesus would feel??  I left that being the last of the bible study.  But ofcourse got a few groans when I told them that is their home work , how would Jesus feel???

God Bless, mj

What a great homework assignment! I was asking my kids at Sunday School the same thing almost. I came from Eph 6:1
