Time For Families
Time for Families
It was the end of a wonderful March Family Camp when a father came up to me with tears in his eyes and said “I wanted you to know that I really didn’t want to come this weekend. I have had a lot going on in my work and really have not had time for my family. This weekend has changed my life! Thank You!”
The Renewal of the Family is what Laity Lodge Family Camp is all about. This March Family Camp once again showed me the importance of time with our families. We live such busy lives with work, school, sports, friends, media and much more competing for our time. It is no wonder that our families are divided. Relationships take time to build. We may live in the same house but never spend any quality time listening and sharing with each other.
The March family camp was wonderful in so many ways. We had 25 families,130 people, sharing in a beautiful weekend. We had an incredible staff who served the families so well. The families were awed by their care for them. One family shared “We all felt like the LLFC Staff was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO accommodating! If we said we would like to do something it happened! The food was great; loved the fact that we didn’t have to bring sheets, blankets, towels etc.. The activities were a blast!” Families had an amazing weekend.
Yet the most amazing thing that happened was God transforming the hearts of people. Families opened up and allowed God to forgive them and in turn they forgave one another. Children saw their parents in new ways. Parents heard their children with new ears. Couples had time to share and laugh together. It is amazing what God can do when we set aside time for Him . It was a wonderful weekend of God’s Grace! Thank You God for spending time with us!!!!!
