Life is full of meaningful moments. Celebrating milestones helps bring an awareness of God’s presence into the home and highlights the rituals of daily life experiences.
The return from deployment can stir up many different types of feelings for both those returning and for families involved. What one has experienced while being separated from family and the community can be life changing.
A military community can provide a source of support through counseling and a variety of programs, but a faith community can provide prayer and support for the individual and the family as well as contributing to their ongoing spiritual well-being. This Milestone recognizes the return to family and community, and provides an opportunity to uplift this occasion with prayers and blessings.
