Thanksgiving
“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures
forever.” Psalms 107:1
These words were written thousands of years ago but
they remain so true to this very day. There have been a lot of hard days in the
last three month around camp, finding out Chief Josh has cancer, that Chief
Matt would need to have brain surgery again, and still not knowing exactly what
is going on with Miss Annie. But despite it all, God’s love endures forever and
I know he is in control. I am thankful for Jesus that he came and died for us
so that we may have life more abundantly. I am thankful for the way Chief Josh,
Chief Matt and Miss Annie charge into everyday with faith and hope. I am
thankful for this staff team that is my family and for how much they love and
care for each other. I am thankful for each and everyone one of you boys, that
you made the choice to come to camp, that you were able to recognize that you
were in need to some kind of help and are now working on learning successful
tools for living. I am thankful for Turkey in the Hole and the great spirited
day it is and that so many people locally are catching the spirit of camp. I am
thankful that Casey was able to be an auctioneer yesterday. Lastly, for now, I
am thankful for my favorite chapel of all the year (this one) and being in this
beautiful hammock listening to all of your articles.

Things I’m
Thankful For
I’m thankful for how my Chiefs never give up on my
problems. Something I am also thankful for is my mom and grandparents never
quitting even when things get tough or when I’m being stubborn. I am thankful
for the cooks because they never have a quitting attitude and because of their
delicious food. Something that I’m thankful for is that Casey always sticks in
and forgives us no matter what. I am very thankful for my family always trying
to cheer me up when I’m a bad attitude. I’m thankful for Jesus coming to earth
to cover up all of our sins. I’m also thankful for my mom keeping a roof over
my head and giving me clothes and food. I am thankful for all of camp and the
people who support camp so we can make progress. I am also thankful for my
education that I get every day. Something that I’m very grateful for is my
relationship with my family and friends. I am very thankful for my family
changing so it is easier for me to change.
