Tuesday June 16
This week at Peaceable Kingdom we have Camp Grey Dove, which is a group of 49 kiddos, 12 counselors, and like 6 counselors in training (CIT’s)… The kids don’t have a physical diagnosis, because they are the brothers and sisters of kids who have or have had cancer. So although they show no physical complications, emotional problems are another thing. And can I just say that going from my first week working with the visually impaired, to working with physically normal kids is like a blow to the chest. It’s so hard for me to love on these kids… Let me give you an example.
The kids with visual impairments last week, although some of them had an attitude, they were for the most part, so kick back, and fun, and happy, and very grateful for everything. They constantly helped their peers, whether it was helping them by sight guiding them, getting their food for them, or even just helping each other play putt putt… and us as staff were constantly needed and wanted by them at all times. This week, the kids are fully capable on their own to get their food, and to do the activities, I feel so useless. I mean I know I still have to do my job, but I don’t feel like the kids “need me.” It’s so weird. It’s also weird to be around “normal” kids, if I can use that term… I’ve forgotten how to work with them almost. After a week, can you believe that?
But anywho, so after I cleaned the kids’ cabins out last week I came across a sadly left behind One Year Bible, so I went ahead and took it upon myself to adopt it... And it’s really cool, it’s basically described as putting your bible on an i-pod and pressing shuffle. . It’s sectioned off for like every day of the year, hence the title, but it’s random chapters of the bible every day. I like it.
Anyways. Long story, long. I found some really amazing verses that I’d like to share…
God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of heaven is theirs.
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
God blessed those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.
God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.
God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Matthew 5:3-10
