He's home! My son, Michael, arrived back in the US on Friday evening from Iraq. Thank you to all of you who have prayed for these seven months!
We had the opportunity to go see him, driving one way and flying home the other way (thanks to the blessing of a friend who works for an airline). To see him, to hear his stories, to watch him with his wife and 9 month old son, to see his photos, to sing with him and share the joy of cooking together - all that wrapped up in 2 short days - it was like a dream come true.
So, here we are. . . thankful, thankful, thankful. Now if only I could get a few weeks ahead of my deadlines!!!
Blessings,
Diana
I like the comment, 'My Mother's heart rejoices with you'. It is very fitting. My son is only 6, Praise God, but the thought is ever before me that someday he no longer will be ours.
So glad your son is home safe and sound.
Extremely happily married since 1979, Bill and Diana Waring home schooled their three children for more than twenty years. The Waring kids were the proving grounds for all the precepts, concepts, and encouragements Bill and Diana teach--the real-life examples of the wonders of home schooling! Now, new grandparents and somewhat empty nesters, Bill & Diana travel all over the world to share the joys of loving learning, honoring one another in the family, and enjoying the journey.
