This past Shabbos

I just had the most amazing Shabbos. I was zoche to go to a Chai Lifeline retreat in Camp Simcha as a counselor. Meeting with these special families, who deal with so much on a daily basis, but still manage to keep a smile on their faces, gave me so much chizuk. Talking to the other counselors, who all have very busy lives, yet who give up their time to give simcha to these children, was an amazing experience.

This must be what these children were created for. To teach us what life is really about. To show us how to smile at a world that doesn't seem to be smiling back at us.

Can we learn from these special children? I hope I can.
