My husband . . . my hero . . . returned home Saturday evening!
Thank you, friends, for all your love, encouragement and prayers these past ten months. We could not have done this without you. Our hearts rejoice for God is good ALWAYS!
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4
We are blown away by the video our Executive Pastor created to document the homecoming. I cannot watch without tears flowing. Please don't leave without watching. It's a joy to share with you.
"How great is our God – sing with me
How great is our God – and all will see
How great, how great is our God."
Because it has been a while and I love this community, I am sharing this post with Barbie for The Weekend Brew.
Beth.....oh sweet Jesus. You have shown us all the power of Homecoming. The power of waiting. The power of perseverance. One day, we will all "go home" and I can't help but believe that Jesus will greet us with this same perfect Love...embrace us and welcome us home. This is a vision I will replay in my head over and over and over again. You have given me hope to continue the course. So happy for you. Thank you for sharing this very personal time with us.

ReplyDeleteOk, I am crying at work!!! What are you doing to me?! lol It's really weird being a Soldier myself I always get so emotional about other Soldiers' homecoming. Thank the Lord, your hubby is back safe! Oh but what really had me crying was your son crying and then how happy your hubby's dad was. Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSobbing with great joy. Oh, I'm praising God right with you and your beautiful family. What a blessed reunion! Thank you for allowing us to have this small glimpse. Enjoy the homecoming!
ReplyDeleteOh Beth, what a beautiful homecoming! I'm so very excited for you and praising God alongside you for your husband's safe return. Praying you all have a peace-filled transition and many wonderful moments together this week.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I will cry if I watch it again but what a blessing to have your Executive pastor create the video for you and your family. Enjoy this time with him and the new memories that you will create.
ReplyDeleteBLEAAHHHHH! I saw the video and it was so touching, and I am so happy for you!!!! (Btw, you look gorgeous too) I would imagine that you are the happiest girl in the whole USA :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, enjoy, enjoy my friend!! And that video you can have for always. What a beautiful gift.
I'm a little teary myself,

WOW! I have tears of joy and warmth and praise. Thank You, LORD, for bringing Scott and the others home wrapped in Your arms of refuge. Thank You for the faith of family and friends, and for keeping Beth and her children while Scott was gone. Oh, LORD, You truly are great. Amen.

I came here from FMF and sat here crying at your video - and I didn't even know you. God bless your family! Wonderful praises for safe homecoming!
ReplyDeleteOh Beth- that video!! I cried literally from beginning to end. Your pastor is so awesome to make such an incredible keepsake for your family. Love the pictures too! So happy for you and your precious family. Many blessings to you all.
ReplyDeleteCrying here at your homecoming video - were those Veterans who saluted them as they came off the plan? Just WOW - and what a hug - so much love in that! So happy that he's home - praying for God's merciful hand as you both adjust, that God's love creates a seemless transition!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to rejoice with you! Praying for you and your family daily! :)
ReplyDeleteBeth, finally stopping by...and the video was so beautiful. What a blessing to see into such a wonderful day for you. I'm sure you are loving having Scott home!
