Dear Prayer Partners,
Throughout the week, one of our teachers would reference the old theme song from the comedy show, Cheers by playing the chorus:
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
Today, we completed our final day of our 2nd session of Royal Family Kids Camp. It's a wonderful and sad day all wrapped into one amazing few hours. We had a great final chapel service. We safely made it back to the DFW area. We shed many tears as we said goodbye to these wonderful kids we've spent the week with. We closed by getting the volunteers together to pray for each of these kids and their caregivers.
One observation was made today as we were getting ready to go home right as lunch was ending. A young camper girl was overheard telling her counselor "I don't want to go home!" The counselor explained that it was just part of the process. The counselor pressed more about why she didn't want to go home. The camper said, "People here know me and are always calling my name. I like it when the Grandmas and Grandpas say hi to me. And even the Coach knows my name. I just love it here."
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You want to be where you can see
Our troubles are all the same
You want to be where everybody knows your name
That's what camp is all about.
