We are beginning to plan our 45th high school
reunion. Where have the years gone? I was blessed to be a part of South
Minneapolis and, collectively, we are all still connected with younger and
older “kids” from our neighborhoods. My class had over 600 students. Planning
for reunions brings anticipation and excitement. Who will be there? Who has
changed? What have old friends been up to since the last time we met?
There will be
another reunion for us one day. As we take our last breath, we will be escorted
into heaven to be reunited with the believers who have gone before us. I long
to see my parents, my friend, Patsy, my grandparents, cousins and other friends
who have arrived in heaven first. That day brings anticipation and excitement.
The former things will pass away and everything will be new and exciting and
forever. Who do you miss? Do you sometimes long for the day you will meet
Jesus?
See, I
will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be
remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what
I will create. Isaiah 65;17-18a
But in
keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new
earth, where righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13
We wait with
anticipation for that most glorious reunion.
Lord,
We await the new heaven and new earth where we will dwell
together with You and all who have gone before us. Keep us protected and filled
with hope as we wait.
In Jesus name,
Amen
