Trust...the lesson of children

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart..."
Proverbs 3:5

As is the case every year, I learn more at blind camp than I teach. This past week was especially enlightening for me! One thing that struck me was the trust the kids have in us. Son Blaine was able to come with us to the water park in Boise and help chaperone. A couple of the boys sat by him on the bus and got to know him a little bit, but certainly not as well as the rest of us who had spent the whole week with them. Nevertheless, they were perfectly trusting to go with Blaine on all the water park slides. It boggles me. He had two boys the whole day and went on every slide! Maybe the reason I can actually SEE the slides is what keeps me off of them, but still. To put your hand in another and go into the unknown is stunning to me. If we could only be so trusting of God! I thought of those little boys, all the kids actually, and realized how sweet and adorable and trusting they are...and that is the way we should be, too. Love, heidi
