The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
“The light at the end of the tunnel” is an interesting phrase. I have not been able to discern its origin. One source suggested that it was first used in 1922. Another source suggested it was made popular by President John F. Kennedy in 1962 in regard to our involvement in Vietnam. The phrase is defined as, “hope that something will end soon and favorably” or “to be able to see the completion of a journey, task or project.”
All I know is that a difficult deployment to Iraq is soon coming to an end and our family can return to some sense of normalcy. I can’t give a specific date because travel details are still to be made. So at least I can say with certainty that we are beginning to see “the light at the end of the tunnel” and I am grateful for the many prayers that have been prayed on our son’s behalf.
The Marine Corps has afforded our son fine training and good equipment, but I credit the hand of our great God and the prayers of countless people for the safety and protection our son has enjoyed.
Thank you for allowing me to share a little of this journey with you. Because of safety concerns I have not been at liberty to be real specific with details. Upon his return I want to fill in some of the gaps with details.
Yes, we’re beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I might add, it is shining brighter each day.
