Kids, Camp, and Sunny Weather: July 14, 2009

Little kids hurt too. I think sometimes we overlook that and assume that there are just the quiet, good ones, and the brats who act up. And more often than not we just figure that that's the way they are! They're just "that kind of kid." But what if we tried to figure out the reasoning behind why they are how they are? Maybe we would come to find that a lot of those outgoing ones who act up are really just lashing out out of confusion and never quite being taught what was right and wrong. Maybe they're treating people the only way they've ever been treated at home. And they just don't know a normal life. Maybe they need God just like I do. And what if that little one in the corner who just hides away has a reason for being that way? What if it goes beyond personality, all the way to something they've experienced in their young lives? What if, even at the age of 8, they are wearing a mask? They're putting on a fake. Is that what this world has become? How. Sad. What if they're trapped in these shells, too afraid to break out because they've already been hurt too much in their lives. What if they need God just like I do? ....Just a thought.
