Camp Agape is a Berevermant Camp for kids who lost an immidate loved one. I've shared my experience and testimony of losing my dad when I was almost 5 for 14 yrs. this evening the kids wrote down a memory list of their favorite memories they have of the lost loved one. I walked around the room and read so many memories. NOT ONE WAS OF ANY THING MATERIAL! Every one was of time spent together. TIME SPENT TOGETHER. And sadly many of the memories I read made me cry because they were so basic..."the time you bought me a coke", "time you took me to the movie", "time we went out to eat" and " the time you came home not drunk and mean". Go make GREAT Everyday memories and lifetime memories. Every Christmas I don't buy gifts for Riley we take a Christmas Memory get away trip. Ask yourself if you were taken tomorrow did you leave enough memories too last a lifetime?

Excellent message and so true. We are wayyyyy too consumed with material things, keeping up with the Jones', working more hours to make more money just so we can blow it on useless junk we don't use ninety percent of the time. Its the little things in life that matter, the time we spend with our loved ones, the memories we make that will last a lifetime. Thanks for the reminder.

I was a photographer at one of the Camp Agape camps several years ago. Seems nearly every conversation with any child their started with I remember when my Dad, Mother, Brother etc. did this or that together. Time is something you can't have back. I lost my Dad 17 years ago I my fondest memoties are the things we did together.
