We had a fabulous last day learning the story of God giving Hannah a baby. We learned how Hannah felt when she really wanted a baby. It was even worse for her when her husband's other wife Peninnah (because back then men sometimes had more than one wife) had lots of babies. We learned how that might feel when all of the crew leaders got lots of candy and the kids got none. AND THEN because Peninnah had more kids, she got more food. That made Hannah feel even worse. So then our crew leaders got even MORE candy. Poor Hannah. She must have felt terrible. Not only did she really, really want a baby. But Peninnah made her feel even worse when she teased Hannah. We didn't like how it felt when our crew leaders got all the candy and then teased us so we started to imagine how Hannah felt.
We learned that Hannah went to the temple and she prayed and prayed. She promised that if she was given a baby, she would give him back to the Lord. And guess what? She finally got pregnant. She followed through with her promise and brought him to the temple and he dedicated his life to God. After that, she had many more babies and was very happy!
We learned that God listens to us and God gives really good gifts!
After we finished all of our regular VBS fun and learning, we had our annual final celebration. We sang 5 of our songs for all of the people that came to see us and we were really proud to show off what we learned.
We are excited to do it one more time on Sunday!
(Check back in a few days and I will post video of our performances!
