Harbor Life Ministries

After experiencing the death of her son Keith, born prematurely on April 18th, Lysa has gone home to her family.

She arrived on April 4 and it was an absolute joy to have her; she brightened every conversation and never seemed to be grumpy or ill-tempered. Her attitude was positive even about coming to Harbor House. She wanted to be here and and wanted to get help with her situation.

Please keep Lysa and her family in your prayers. There is also a memorial fund set up in her son’s name for anyone wishing to contribute (Paypal alternate site).

I have an image burned in my mind that I want to replace. Lysa is sitting on the floor of the bathroom cradling her son, trying to keep him warm while massaging his little chest. I don’t want that to be what I think about when I remember Keith and his mother Lysa.

I have set up a web page that I hope attracts some attention and giving. I hope that Keith has an impact through his memory, a memory of a loving mother who came to Harbor House to get help with her pregnancy so she could give life to her baby.

Please, if you are moved to remember Keith this way, visit my web page and make a donation. The goal is $1,000. That may be lofty in this economy, but I believe God has all the money that ministries like Harbor House need in the hands of His people. All they have to do is trust Him and let go, as He leads them to give.

Thank you. For Keith and Lysa.

The funeral has been scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday 21 April, 2009, for Lysa’s baby Keith Louis, who was born early Saturday morning 13 weeks early but survived only less than two hours.

If you are interested in attending, please contact us and we will email the details.

Thanks to all those who have lifted Lysa up in prayer as well as our household. Lysa seems to be doing well through this. As for us, although we know that everything first passes through God’s hands and that He loves and comforts us through Christ in our loss, it is still sad when death enters a home that has as its purpose saving life.
