Our theme for today at camp is: Hurdles. We have hurdles in our lives that we have to deal with, obstacles that we must work through. My 70 year-old camp sponsor friend shared with me that one of the kiddos asked today if there are hurdles that are too high for us to get over. He responded that it depends upon the person and the situation.
He then told me that he thinks the worst situation someone could be in is for them to have no one that cares about them.
That hit me pretty hard. He went on to talk about a man that he knew, once upon a time. The man was homeless. All his kids lived on the other side of the country and didn't care to ever come see him. He said it broke his heart. And hearing the story broke mine.
Realizing that no one cares about you, about what goes on in your life, or if you even have a life must be about as low as it gets. That may just be a hurdle that is too high.
