Fun fun fun

Camps aren’t perfect and sometimes things don’t work as they are meant to work and need fixing. In one of the girls’ cabins, hot water isn’t working, so after three days of either cold shower or no shower at all, counsellors asked if they could send their girls have a quick shower in our (2 staff and I) cabin. There was just no way we couldn’t say no, especially when the counsellors are telling us about the Doritos smell in the morning. Anyways, I won’t go there. So we had 3 girls coming last night when the second girl came in, she shut the door of the cabin behind her and started to sing a song that we sing before meal times. It’s on the “We will rock you” melody. It goes like this (but in French):

Eternal Father, Lord and King
You give us all we need
You put food in our plates
That fills our belly
Thank you for the food that taste good
Thank you Jesus, Thank you
Thank you Jesus, Thank you

She kept singing that until she was done and opened the door of the bathroom to leave. She even clapped her hands at some points. I didn’t know the song but heart before, but since last night, it’s an easy one for me.
I just thought that it was just… sweet that a little girl was simply singing these words in her shower because I could remember myself thinking about next week already in my shower that morning. Using every single bit of time I could to plan ahead and think how things could work and the like. I don’t know, I guess there is a time for everything under the sun, a time to think and a time to sing but… I wish I could just “fly away” from my days and sing in the shower, carefree.

I like the ministry our cabin has (…) every day we get counsellors asking us if they can use one of the beds in our cabin to sleep away their “only” free hour during their day. It’s really neat to be able to use our “quiet” cabin for their good. It’s a safe place to sleep and to cry.

Anyways I should get going now.
