At Vacation Bible School this year the theme was Prayer safari. The focus was learning how to talk to God. And the bible memory challenge was of course The Lord's Prayer. This is the first time Gabriel has memorized a verse and I am SO PROUD of him. All week the kid's were told that if they could get up on stage one night (with the group) and say the Lord's Prayer together that at the end they would receive a trophy. Gabriel was all worked up about this trophy! He was sooo excited and he practiced and practiced. I happen to run into the director of VBS the last night and talked to her about Gabriel and how proud he was that he had learned the prayer and he was going to get a trophy. Well at the end of the night she surprised us by asking Gabriel to say it by himself in front of everyone. And he was WONDERFUL!! It was his shining moment, everyone was patting him on the back and I don't think I have ever seen him smile soooo big. He ran up to me afterwards and said, "mommy I did sooooo great!!" I didn't know she was going to do that so I didn't have my camera but when we came home I had him say it for me with trophy in hand.
