So, who would have thought that something that spends its entire life crawling around on the ground could be so amazing?
Well, snakes are amazing!
John Lillie came with an awesome show and 3 (count 'em, 3) snakes to BWBB last Friday night!
We learned tons about venom, bites, strangulation and bone crushing. Plus we got to hold snakes (those of us who wanted to). And, no one was bitten, that i know of.
It was an awesome time!
As always we had great food and lots of loud, rowdy play.
At the end, we were reminded of Jesus' words from Matthew Ch 7 - don't judge, otherwise you will be judged too. We were reminded about how many people think that snakes are just freaky and scary and even evil, but we saw snakes that were timid and gentle and really fun. People are much the same. We so often encounter people that we are tempted to judge because they are different than us, but when we open our minds to God's love for them, we realize that He loves them as much as He loves us, and we had better be keeping a grace-filled attitude toward all people. Check out the song, "If we are the body" by Casting Crowns.
We are already excited about July 19th - our next BWBB! Can't wait to see you all again and hear about how your summer vaca's are going!
