Ashes or something (2 Comments)
We were out driving around when the CD with songs from Vacation Bible School came on. The kids, especially the girls, really like it. TG kept murmuring something about the “Ashes” song. She asks me to turn up the music and then starts hemming and hawing and saying “Mom!”. So I turn the music down to actually hear her and then she doesn’t really have anything to say. It can be frustrating. But I did hear something about the ashes song again. I didn’t know what she was talking about.
We reached one of our stops and I waited to get out so we could finish up a song. She kept talking through it that she wanted to hear the rest of the song.
Gosh! If you’d be quiet then you’d hear the rest of the song! See me twitch?
So we get our errand done and start off again. One song has a chorus that goes something like this: “My actions meet my passion for what My God has done!” Then I heard that word again- ashes. Oh!
“My ashes meet my Passion!”
That puts a whole new spin on those lyrics.
Too cute!
Grace was praying with her dolls and said, “Howard be my name, thy kingdom come…” I was laughing so hard I could hardly correct her! I love “hearing” things through their perspectives.

Thanks for sharing…I love that the kids still want to hear the VBS songs long after the week is over. They make such a great impact (evidently) on our children.
The girls still request the CDs from previous VBSs!
