While on the Kingdom Generation Camp, I was in charge of the younger groups program. Part of their program was to take a few walks on the farm to enjoy nature and spend time with God. The route we walked was on the gravel road, from the hall to the middle gate, close to the water crib where the horses come to drink. The first time we went, the horses were very far away and I noticed how disappointed the children were. Whenever we would walk, I would try and see if the horses were closer, but each time they were just too far way for the kids to actually see. On our second last day I prayed a quick prayer and asked God to please allow the horses to be at the crib when we are there. The last day of the camp arrived, and I decided to take the kids for a walk again, even though it wasn't on our program. My faith wasn't that strong, so I let the kids walk a slightly different route to avoid any disappointment. As we started walking back, I just experienced I must look at the crib... And not too far away I spotted the horses. Without telling the children, I guided them towards the horses and just told them to trust me, even though we are walking further. At first the kids moaned a little, but slowly the excitement grew, because they trusted me. It was so precious to see their faces when they saw the horses, and when they heard that I had asked God the day before, and that He organised it for us. I think I learnt so much more about God's love for us than what the kids did.
