Hey Now, Hey Now...Our Kaitlyn's Back!

After a few days of being without Katie-bear as she was away at church summer camp, we are all home tonight, resting comfortably and happy we're back together! It's something to see that big old yellow bus drive away with your child on board, hoping that they come back to you safely and the way you left them. It's even more heartening to see when God answers your prayers and your baby girl does indeed return home safe & sound!

There were tons of parents there tonight to welcome home their little campers. Even as the temperature of the hot & humid Arkansas night was still a sweltering 93 degrees and even as the sweat billowed down the faces of parent and child alike, that didn't stop any of us from giving our kids a giant hug and kiss!

Even Jake got in on the act as he told me several times during the past few days how much he missed his big sister.

It's a wonderful feeling as I get ready for bed to know all is well, your family is together and we're all sleeping under the same roof tonight.

God is certainly good and faithful and I thank Him as I wind this up tonight for giving our daughter (and all the campers) His divine protection & traveling mercies and for giving us parents the patience to get through those 3 hot days of summer.

Welcome home, Kate!
