Vacation Bible School Madness Hits

I'm excitedly starting to make those dreaded phone calls for vacation Bible school volunteers.  

One of my favorites to make though is to a box company in Fremont- for the past two years they have very willingly donated as many Large pieces of cardboard as I need!  

my other favorite phone call was when a mom i called to help not only willingly agreed but offered evaluation of past crew leaders her sons had been with during the week.  she excitedly told me that one of the ladies who volunteered for the first time last year really made an impact on her sons and they both LOVED her.  what an awesome way to start a conversation about helping again with this crew leader- her face was priceless when i told her about her fans and how they were really hoping to have her back!  "well i didn't do anything special- i just took them to the stations!" 

please keep this in mind when you feel like you are doing the smallest job that seems to require no effort- you make a difference in people's lives and they notice.  keep doing what you're doing (especially if it is so easy for you!)
