No more mosquito bites

Tory Silver with contributions from Nelson Mandela, Theodore Roosevelt, Selma Largerlöf

When I was at camp last summer, I was on an overnight. That was when we slept for two nights away from the cabin and the camp. The second night, we slept in a field. It was very hot, and there were bugs everywhere. When I woke up in the morning, my face was covered with mosquito bites.

I didn't notice them at first. But later when we drove back to camp, I saw myself in a mirror. And I gasped because my face was all bumpy and red. I thought it was going to take forever to get all of the bumps off my face. I started to think that mosquitoes were the stupidest things on earth! But then I was like, "No, wait a minute."

It came to me that bugs were just as much creations of God as I was. And God's creatures are not stupid. They cannot be annoying. I prayed with these thoughts.
