A single parent family came to Family Camp several years ago. One of the daughters, six at the time, still remembers vividly the worship experiences of that weekend - worship in various locations. These experiences have remained with her for over a decade. She returned many times as a camper, then as a counselor to share her experienc with younger campers. Eventually she bacame director of the entire camp.
Childhood is an impressionable time.
The memories and experiences often determine the course of our life and career. The lessons we learn in youth are invaluable in determining how we respond in later years. Look at Psalm 8. It is awesome to hear the stirring words of Psalm 8 describing the star- studded universe. But the reality, seen on a perfectly clear night, heads raised to the stars, is an experience that will stay forever with young and old alike.
