Camping with fellow Christians is such a blessing! Not only were our tummy's satisfied with delicious food, but more importantly, our souls were filled and running over! Such wholesome, godly fellowship is nothing to compare with attractions, fashions and entertainment the world has to offer! There was Bibles opened, discussions, singing, smiles, waterfights, tears, fishing, campfires, riddles, poems, more singing, hugs, games, races, relaxing, volleyball, cooking, teachings, lessons, helping, encouragements, pointing to Jesus Christ as our all in all, sleeping and resting, air mattresses that needed pumping up in the middle of the night, fish flies, birds singing, I love you's, couples spending time together, godly influence, ministering, learning, revival in relationships....and last of all: Cleanup!
But our hearts were blessed, filled and encouraged as we drove off, with lots of memories to look back on.

I'd rather have Jesus, than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
~
Than to be the king of a vast domain
or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
this world affords today
