Every once in a while, you have a day that reminds you exactly why you do what you do… and this past Friday was one of those days. ❤️🎪
Our very first LHLP Circus was more than just games, prizes, and cotton candy. It was a day filled with laughter, teamwork, kindness, and the kind of joy you can’t manufacture. Today was a core memory made kind of day!
Our camp kids and staff with help from Miss Kristen spent the week dreaming, planning, painting signs, making tickets, creating games, and getting everything ready for our youngest friends. On Friday, they proudly ran every booth, cheered on little ones, celebrated every win, and showed what it means to be leaders with kind hearts.
As I stood back and watched, I found myself fighting back tears. Seeing our teachers working together, watching older children encourage younger ones, hearing giggles echo through the halls, and witnessing so many genuine smiles reminded me that these are the moments that matter.
The decorations will come down. The prizes will be gone. The sugar highs will wear off. But the memories made this day—the feeling of belonging, the excitement, the confidence, and the love shared between our LHLP family—will last so much longer.
Childhood is made up of moments like these. Moments where children feel seen, encouraged, celebrated, and deeply loved. Those are the moments that shape hearts, build confidence, and become the memories they carry with them long after they’ve grown.
To our incredible staff: thank you for pouring your hearts into our children every single day.
To our amazing families: thank you for your generosity, your donations, and for trusting us with your greatest treasures.
And to our sweet kiddos… thank you for reminding us to laugh a little louder, dream a little bigger, and find joy in the simplest moments.
I’m so thankful God has called me to this work and entrusted me with these incredible children, families, and staff. My heart is overflowing with gratitude, and I wouldn’t have wanted to spend this day anywhere else.
My heart is so full. ❤️🎪
