Learning more about God—at camp
It was my first summer at a camp for Christian Scientists.
I was eight years old at the time, and everything felt new—the big trees, the smells, and all the kids who seemed to already know each other. That first night, after the lights went out in the cabin and the chatter quieted, I felt scared. I missed home. I thought, What if I’m alone here?
Then I remembered something my Christian Science Sunday School teacher had told me: “God is Love. That means Love is right where you are, all the time.” I also thought about something I’d learned from reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (p. 494).
