Day 2 showed us that God's love is kind. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." - 1 Corinthians 13:4
Our symbol for Day 2 is the conch shell. In many island cultures, blowing through a conch shell is both musical and a way to sound a signal. Many ships carried conch shells so that they could call for help. When Jesus was here on Earth, people came to Him for help. Whenever they did, Jesus was kind and patient and helped them. When you see a shell, you can remember that Jesus showed how God's love is kind and patient. We can also remember that we can always call out to God.
Our story today had a TV reporter and a pushy, ambulance-chasing lawyer going back in time to reveal the story of how Jesus helps a young girl and a sick woman.
Recreation time brought some parachute fun for the little kids and some water balloon fun for the older ones.
Crafts took us to the beach tonight. We made little beach scenes in boxes with sand, shells, a cross, and our daily Bible focus. We can shake the boxes to find different things.
Our snack kept the shell theme with little chocolate shells and some pretzels.
We are making progress on our mission of flood buckets. We have enough items and money for nine buckets. If we reach ten buckets, our skit actors are going to have a hula hoop contest for us.
