"Shake it Up Cafe" is the theme for this year's Vacation Bible School. It's been fun building bulletin boards with kitchen utensils, mixing bowls and measuring spoons~ all as a visual of how we can 'shake up' our world with our love for God and for others.
It reminds me that throughout history, people and cultures have changed quite a bit through the process of being 'shaken',
Shaking up means waking up. Who hasn't experienced that shaking up experience when someone who cares about you is telling you 'Wake up~ as they gently (or not so gently) shake you into consciousness? Yes, it can feel abrupt, and not so welcoming, but consider the alternative. You sleep through an important interview, an appointment, or other event that you will regret being late too, or even worse, missing all together.
I'm looking forward to being with a classroom of four year olds. One of them will be my little granddaughter, Camryn, who already has a talent for shaking things up; resulting in the creation of fun and interesting memories.
