Life isn't about having or getting its about giving. When we give of ourselves we learn so much in return. The other week I was a counselor at Camp Andrews for some of my club girls. In some ways I feel like I went away having learned more than they did. They taught me so much about life.
There are times when I have no idea what to say to them, but then I am reminded of the fact that they just want a friend who listens to them. I don't have to have the perfect words for them when they are struggling with things I just need to be there for them and be their friend. I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to pour love into these girls lives. And you know, it is when I give and give of myself and my time to these awesome girls that I feel so incredibly blessed. I may only receive big hugs or kisses, little notes, or huge smiles, in return but to me that is more than enough.

They have changed my life, and I wouldn't trade my time with them for anything.
