Another Friday at Camp
Dear God,
Thank you for everything you’ve done and provided for me this week at camp! I am just a little bit sad that camp is over. I will miss all of my new friends, and my counselor, and Puppet Louie (the most). I had such a great time!! Everyday I felt so special. On Monday, I was a little nervous, but my counselor had a perfect place just for me in our room. On Tuesday, we went swimming, and I ate three tacos! I am grateful for all the good food out here at camp. On Wednesday, we celebrated everyone’s birthday, even though my birthday is not until December 14th. And we got our very own gift! On Thursday, I got to wear this beautiful red dress that made me feel like a princess. You know, like I could be in a new Disney princess movie. Today, Friday, I got to give everybody I now love a big hug! I am just a little bit sad I won’t see them for a while, but You know the plans for my future, and I know You make good plans for me. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me this week at camp. Please make sure all of my new friends, my counselor, and Puppet Louie come back next year! Oh, and me too!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
