Have just returned from two very different Lighthouse Family Retreat missions. We helped 23 families reconnect during one of the hardest times in anyone’s life, living as your child goes through cancer. Some of the stories have happy endings, cancer is in remission. Others are not so lucky..one sweet little girl is literally living on borrowed time, making memories with her four older siblings and parents.
Through lots of sunshine (week 1) and LOTS of rain (week 2), I am confident that our Family Partners made a huge difference in the lives of these Retreat Families. Come join us in 2019 in Emerald Isle, NC or Destin, FL!!
Excerpt from one Retreat Family post I just read:
On our way home with tears streaming down my face. I don't know how I'm going to live without waking up to all the wonderful people we spent the week with. All the people who welcomed us into their hearts, and so quickly. All the people who get it, who share your very same fears, feelings, heartaches, and triumphs. The thought of not seeing them all everyday is heart wrenching, but I know our paths will cross again. This morning at breakfast we said SEE YOU LATER, never a goodbye. I LOVE you all so VERY much. Thank you all for your love, light and peace ❤. This Lighthouse trip was lifechanging. I made my peace with God who I have been very angry with for a very long time and it feels really good. I even got baptized again in the ocean in front of all these wonderful people. May God bless you ALL!!!!!
