The Sun and The Wind

THE WIND and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the road, and the Sun said: “I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveler take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin.” So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveler. But the harder he blew the more closely did the traveler rap his cloak round him, till at last the Wind had to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveler who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

A very talented sister made this flag for our girls camp based on our theme of The Sun and The Wind


I love this flag!  When I look at her I think of strength,  integrity and confidence. She is steadfast and immovable! Her face is turned towards the sun letting the wind blow at her back. She is also a symbol of hope. Hope gives meaning to our suffering and purpose to our actions. I want to be her!


 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.” 2 Tim. 1:7-8
