    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (CEB) Rejoice always. Pray continually. Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. During our church's Vacation Bible School, I had the pleasure of being in the kitchen. As the children came through the line, I watched as parents worked with their children on having good manners.
