Dw had left me to sleep in this morning. He was going to get the little guys breakfast. {I am not much of a sleeper-in type gal. There’s way too much to do in my humble opinion.}
Anyway, Dw’s cell was charging in our room and it started ringing.
It was early.
I dove out of bed.
Caller ID said it was Sarah, our precious daughter-in-love.
I answered, “Honey?! Is everything okay?”
And on the other end of the line I heard a most treasured voice,
“Mom! I’m home!”
Our newly promoted Sergeant is stateside!
Safe.
American soil.
Sobs of relief unleashed by this mama.
Poor Ty.
Seems all I do when I talk to him is cry.
I ran the phone to daddy so he, too, could hear his voice.
He’s safe.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your prayers while he was deployed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Please remember our troops and please God, continue to bless America.
How wonderful!
Praising God with you!
As a mom who still waits with her daughter for her precious husband who is daily in harms way, I understand.
May his homecoming have many precious memories for all of you.
Delighting in Him

Thrilled and praising God with you and your family!!

WHOO HOO WELCOME HOME TY!! I will never forget the feeling of seeing my guy walk off the plane when he returned from Iraq-the relief he was safe, thankful to God for bringing him home alive.
So happy for you Linny, your boy is home safe.
Blessings,
Suzanne
what wonderful news. so glad he is home safe.
I cried reading this! I'm so glad he is home safe! And congratulations to him on his promotion! My brother leaves March 6 for his first deployment. We are so very proud of him, but so very nervous and scared!
Yippee Jesus!! Incredible news. I have tears too. Hugs and love

Praying often for him!!!
oh Linny. thank God. What a call.
crying tears of joy for you here too!!!
YEAH GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew it! I just had that feeling reading the title alone. Sending praise up on behalf of his safe return and a relatively low-key deployement for him. My husband is in Savannah at this very moment (we recently moved to San Diego) attending the memorial of the seven men that battalion lost on their most recent deployment. It was a hard one for us as we said goodbye to several close friends. Through their sacrifices and the safe return of so many other dear friends, we praise the sovereign, merciful God.
Welcome home, Ty! Soak up that precious time!
Yippee! Thank you, Tyler, for putting your life on the line for all of us.
Thank you both for raising such a fine & honorable man to serve our country. Deep Gratitude.
And we rejoice with you!
I am so happy for you!
Oh praise God! You make me worry about him too. 😉
Praising Him!!!! Awesome News :D:D
Welcome Home… Thanks Be To God!
Praise Jesus!
Such a beautiful couple.
Tears and praising God! 😉 Welcome home, Ty!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!! Welcome home!
How exciting! He was on my heart big time last week so it's so good to hear he is home safe 🙂
NOW,I'm a blubbering mess!!! Praise God, and thank you so much Tyler for your bravery and willingness to serve our country! I pray God's protection and great blessings over you today:)! WOO-HOO!!!

You have made me more aware than ever of how blessed we are to have young men and women wiling to serve our country. Just today in the post office I prayed for a woman mailing energy drinks to her son in Afganistan…
Yay Linn, So, so glad he's home safe!!
Praise God! So Thankful for him and all the other men and women that serve our country while we are safe in our homes. So happy for you.

Always, always, God is faithful.

P.S. The posted picture of Tyler & Sarah is beautiful.
So, you know this post brought this Navy mom to tears, right?
And, today one of our church sons was home from Afghanistan….more tears.
And, he brought his friend Adam with him. Adam was seriously injured while serving, and is now a walking miracle…..
Praise the LORD for those who serve. God bless you, Tyler! And, blessings to you, too, Linny!
