Yesterday was the busiest day for receiving campers, the first day of a holiday weekend!
We thought we were prepared for the influx but it exceeded our imagination. Over 80 camping families arrived in the afternoon. All needed to be greeted, checked in and reminded of a few rules of the campground.
13+ campers an hour for six hours. Works out to one every 4 minutes. Whoa!
Dave and I couldn’t have done it on our own. We are so thankful for the team that we are a part of. The other host couples jumped in to help with the work. Some cleaned bathrooms while others collected license plate numbers and helped keep the line of campers and trailers flowing smoothly.
Praise God! What a blessing.
“I call to God, I cry to God to help me. From his palace he hears my call; my cry brings me right into his presence— a private audience!” Psalm 18:6 MSG
I was blessed with a good night’s sleep but my body was weary when I woke. Have you ever been there? I prayed and said “Father, help me. Help me to be ready for this day. Strengthen me so that I will be a testimony of your love”.
“The Spirit God gave us does not make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and love and self-control.” II Timothy 1:7 ERV
The Father blesses us with strength for our minds, our emotions and our bodies. He has never intended for us to go through this life without His strength. He gives it freely. He wants us to depend on Him.
Jesus said “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened down. I will give you rest.”
Remember, it’s ok to ask for help. When we ask, He provides!
Very true sister, Father God is there to help us just because He loves us. You reminded me of these verses:
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
— Psalm 121:1-2
The Father never leaves us without aide or assistance!
