family reunion

I probably won't be attending any

birthday parties or bridal showers in heaven--

but the family reunion, my flight is already booked.

How about yours?

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,

with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel

and with the trumpet call of God,

and the dead in Christ will rise first.

After that, we who are still alive and are left

will be caught up together with them in the clouds

to meet the Lord in the air.

And so we will be with the Lord forever."

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NIV
