Family Recovery

"This is the way God meant my son to be."

Yesterday, in Family Recovery, the above comment was made by a mother who still attends Family Recovery and whose son is a 3D intern.

For so many reasons, I loved the truth behind that statement. It spoke of health and continued healing. It spoke of a family who had been restored. It spoke of peace in the home. It spoke of love that dissolved and replaced hate. It spoke of Family Recovery.

Later, I heard this comment:

"We are coming to Family Recovery because we need the healing."

3 Dimensional Life isn't just about a student acknowledging their pain that drove them to drugs, alcohol, or whatever it may be. It is about the entire family healing together. Because if there isn't a healthy home to return to, how much harder is it for a student to carry out long-term sobriety?

I'm praying that the day comes when all the present and future families of 3D students can look at their son and say, "This is the son God meant for me to have. This is the healing we received as a family."
