Today was the first day of VBS and it was just amazing! I love to be around kids, but of cause kids are a nuisance at times =) still love them though. I was in the group named Ray, the sun. Nice group. The kids were super noisy and hard to control, well they are kids, what less can I expect of them. There was this kid who was so annoying and kept going against the “authorities” I ask him to sit and he stand, stand he sit, oh man...
I learnt a valuable lesson from this VBS, there are kids who are just plain pain and I felt like just leaving them and go be with other nice kids. I did not see that these irritating little brats just needs attention. And this applies to our daily life, the irritating kids are our friends who we reject or do not wish to talk with. Take a moment and think, are there anyone in your life you always try to avoid whenever you see them, you just want to be with your bunch of friends - your clique. But when new people try to join in you don’t entertain them. I have seen this happening many a time. The little irritating boy that keeps coming at me really pissed me off at times and I just felt like shouting at him, don’t bother about him and just go play with the other cuter and nice little kids. Today’s VBS taught me that we should love the unlovable – that is Jesus’ motto. These kids want to be loved (who doesn’t?) and so does your friends whom you’re trying to avoid, thaink about them now and make a change.
Pastor Ronald Teo and Pastor Ree Shih has done an awesome job in organizing this annual event for so many years, God bless them abundantly!!!
Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (This is what VBS is all about)
