Wise Words

On Friday Mornings I try to send out an encouraging word to some of my Camp Tecumseh girls. Recently, I asked them to share one of their favorite verses or quotes that brings them inspiration.

But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. -2 Chronicles 15:7

Choose joy.
