"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."
1 Timothy 4:12
What a beautiful gift God has given to us in the form of kids - they are like brightly wrapped packages to open, full of smiling faces, curious questions, and contagious laughter. The energy at e-camp this week is over-the-top, thanks, in part, to another beautiful gift God has blessed us with -- our student volunteers from The Foundry (Fellowship's highschool youth group.) They greet our campers at the door every morning with a smile and a "Hey, I'm so glad you're here!" They play, they give piggyback rides, they lead the kids to their activities and take them to the bathroom(over and over again!). They let the younger kids go through the lunch line first, they reign in the stragglers, they answer lots and LOTS of questions -- all without whining, complaining or wishing they were somewhere else. What an incredible example of the body of Christ; to walk alongside another in love, showing by example and sharing one's experience. May we all come into the presence of Jesus as our kids do...and don't forget to HAVE FUN!

I too have been doubly blessed by the kids at e-camp and our youth leaders! Wow! What a treasure we have at FBC.
