Everyone thought the whiffleball
game was the most entertaining part of the day. People that don't usually get
a lot of exercise were blended in with athletic types. The plastic ball was a
good equalizer. We ate a lot of food, talked, and shared old pictures and stories.
These ingredients of a family reunion blended nicely with the good weather to
make for a very enjoyable day.
Activities do not a family reunion make. They are what you
do at a reunion. What made our family reunion was the coming together because
we have ancestors and names in common.
The greatest family reunion in human history is already in the planning
stages. When Jesus Christ returns, His family, His followers, will meet
Him in the air. We will meet because of a blood relationship, the shed
blood of Jesus Christ, and because of the common name, "Christian". We "shall
be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and
thus we shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thess. 4:17).
Will you have a part in that great reunion? Since you don't know when
the call to it may come, you should prepare for it today by joining the
family. You can be born again into that family by talking to God about
putting your faith in Jesus Christ.
Join today. I'll see you at the reunion!
