Scrappy

"Scrappy" the racoon was the mascot for the Shake-it- Up-Cafe VBS recently. The four-year-olds in the classroom I was in looked forward to Scrappy's visit each day. While they may have suspected that the voice of Scrappy's was that of the puppeteer, Ms. Linda, they never showed it, because they were fascinated with his words and responded to him when he asked them questions on what they were learning.

While the week is now over, I know that the kids that attended have been touched by this week of learning their scriptures of the day; 'the secret ingredients (Be ready for God, Believe in Jesus Fully, etc); and are more open to being 'shakers for God.'

I am thankful too for the opportunity to have spent a week with 17 precious 4-year-olds who are special and unique. I think too, that this experience has also given my heart a 'shake-up' to continue living each day out with expectancy of great things the Lord wants to accomplish.
