We just finished our sport's camp yesterday at FOSM. It was alot of fun to see all the kids enjoying themselves. There was one incident I want to share that happened on Wednesday that I'll never forget. There was one kid who joined us for flag football, he was the youngest of the group (4yrs old). We separated the older group from the smaller kids in order to let have playing time in football. In doing so they all got to play with each other in there own game of football it was great. There was one though who wasn't so happy. One kid didn't understand that the flag around his waste had to be pulled off by the other team,so he got upset. After comforting him and assuring him that everything was going to be fine he continued to cry. That's when little Jack stepped in. Jack was the same age as him and totally took over and succeeded what I failed at! I sat there and witnessed a four year old give words of encouragement and watched as the other kid listened to Jack. I just had to sit there in awe and feel happy for Jack and the other kid. After saying what he had to say to the little boy he was fine,no more crying for him. It was like they just clicked and understood each other. What a moment! I just had to share that little story with you. Camp was fun. Great job everyone! Special thanks to all our youth who volunteered! You and everyone else made a difference for the Lord! Peace out.
