Prayer: May we be patient, kind, and show our love to others. Amen.
Reading: 1 Corinthians 13- 4-8 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: I think this passage is used extremely often, usually at weddings. Many of us are familiar with is, but I think it pertains more to our daily lives than to just the bonds of marriage. When we are at camp, perhaps it is easier to live by this passage and be patient with each other, not keeping records of people that have wronged us. We try to be honest, open, and transparent with each other and I think this allows us to love each other with patience and kindness. When not at camp, we may be pushed back into the world where not everyone believes or knows these words like us. Loving others as Christians can be difficult when we are not being reciprocated with the same love. We must remember to not be easily angered by others’ actions, and always be giving the kind of love that we would want to receive. --Kristin Jenkins
