Be A Hero

This summer, at Loucon Church Camp, the theme was "Be a Hero." We learned how to make a difference in the world. Senior High 1 is the camp that I attend. A lot of us have been going to camp together for years and we are like family, so our small group conversations are very deep and we can open up to each other. We talked about everything from trying to witness to people and school and being afraid of what others think of you to problems that we are going through with our families. To be a hero you don't have to change the world, but if you make a difference in one persons heart, it can mean much more.
Today's song is "Human" by Natalie Grant. She says, "We gotta do better than this, cause we only got one chance to make a difference...Little love, little kindness, little light in this time of darkness." Today a lot of people are suffering. Many are out of work, don't have a home, or have lost loved ones. You hear all the time about the children in Africa who die everyday because of starvation, but you don't always hear about the children in America who go to bed hungry to. The ones who only meal is at school and when the weekend comes, they don't get anything from Friday at lunch to Monday morning at breakfast. It is up to the rest of us to make a difference. Every one needs love. A smile goes farther than you may ever know.
