In January of this year my dad went in for an outpatient surgery and ended up in ICU on a ventilator. We weren't given much hope that he would ever leave ICU, but he did. He was in the hospital for several weeks and we weren't given much hope that he would get out of the hospital, but he did. He was then put in a rehab facility and we weren't given much hope that he would ever get to go home, but he did. We really never thought he and my mom would ever be able to be back in Bentonville, Arkansas, but they did. With God, ALL things are possible!!!
My parents flew into Bentonville this past Friday and we were blessed with great family time together. I am so thankful for the time we were able to spend together and will always cherish these moments. I took quiet a few pictures, and I think sometimes, pictures speak louder than words.

We had a full weekend and my parents fly home Tuesday morning. God is so good and I am so thankful for all the memories we made this weekend. His mercies are new every morning, great is His faithfulness. I can honestly say my life has been richly blessed and I never want to take God's blessings for granted. He's given me such joy to be with my family and continues to show me so much mercy and grace.
Psalms 44:8 "In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever."
Thank you Mother & Daddy for flying here to see all of us. We love you very much!!!!
"Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."
I am so glad you got this time with your parents, no amount of money can replace or be more valuable than this time you were able to spend together. Looks like you all have had a great visit.
