Time With God at Camp
By larry r Linville

The campers are all swimming
and here it’s just God and me.
There are no big distractions
no radio or TV.

I sit in the sweet stillness
my mind open to God’s Word.
Perhaps it will be sent
in the singing of a bird.

When they come back I’ll tell them
a Bible story of old
which gives a modern message
so simple their minds can hold.

We’ll season it with action
so it will have an appeal
leading them to Jesus’ day
and make it seem so real.

I pray the Spirit enter
into my soul and heart
so I can share it with them
before we have to part.

Now that I’ve had my time with God
and the kids are coming back
I’m prepared for the study
and I know we’ll be on track.
