Sweet Reunion

Our family joined the Hughes family and a big group of friends at the airport tonight to welcome Sara home from almost a year serving the Lord in Italy. it was a sweet reunion. One we have been waiting eagerly for. A touching sight seeing mother and daughter embrace, then father and daughter, and brother and sister, followed by many friendly greetings and embraces. Safe and sound. Home at long last. One reunion among many we experience here on earth.

We waited eagerly for the slightly delayed flight to land, then a bit more as one by one people disembarked. No Sara. Finally she appeared and we rejoiced. Makes me think of another reunion to come. One that every true believer longs for. That coming day when, at long last and perfectly timed, the Lord Jesus Christ will appear.1 John 3:2-3 says that when He appears we shall be like Him and we shall see Him as He is. Only God knows the day and hour. It fast approaches. We await our sweet reunion. Come Lord Jesus.
