Long-Awaited Reunion
March 20, 2012

As a boy, I had a collie named Prince Boy, a great dog that I really loved. One day, he disappeared. I didn’t know if he had been stolen or if he had simply run away—but I was devastated. I searched everywhere. In fact, one of my earliest childhood memories is of climbing a tall tree from which I could scan our neighborhood in hopes of spotting him. I desperately wanted my beloved dog back. For weeks, I was always watching and hoping to see Prince Boy again. But we were never reunited.

There’s a much greater sense of loss when we think we’ll never again see a loved one who dies. But for those who know and love the Lord, death’s parting is only temporary. One day we will be reunited forever!

Paul assured the Thessalonians, “The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain 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. 4:16-17). The words that provide comfort to the grieving heart are together and we. These words of reunion indicate that followers of Christ don’t ever have to experience permanent separation. For us, death is not a goodbye; it’s a “see you later.”

We’ll be reunited one day
With our loved ones who have died
If they know the Lord as Savior—
Then with Him we will abide. —Sper

God’s people never say goodbye for the last time.

Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. —1 Thessalonians 4:17

Bible in a Year:
1 Samuel 21-24

Grahic by Billie

Spring day! Happy day!
God hath made the earth so gay!
Every little flower He waketh,
Every herb to grow He maketh.
When the pretty lambs are springing,
When the little birds are singing,
Child, forget not God to praise,
Who hath sent such happy days.

Oh wow, thank you, jaycee, you too! That is so pretty. I can’t believe it’s the first day of spring; it’s freezing out here in the desert :0)

[jaycee]

And we're going to be 82 today. Remarkable for Northeast
Tennessee this time of year. Good to 'see' you, B.Q.!

HAPPY SPRING TO YOU!

[jaycee]

Such a sweet graphic, Amy. There's something about little lambs
that just melts your heart. And Jane, I love your very cute
poem and didn't know you wrote poetry! I love learning new things!

Awww, thank you and you too, jaycee! Thanks for letting me peek my head in here, I finally had a couple of days off and could “catch up” a teeny bit.

It’s 53 now and rising slowly... We got that storm that came from Northern CA, then it hit SoCal, then us Sunday and yesterday. We had hail and thunder on and off all day, and scary dark clouds :0)

Today, the storm has more or less moved on, but it left snow on all of our mountains (and in some places, down to 2,000 feet!).

[Kitty Mittens]

Beautiful Post, Amy, Billie, and Jane!

(((((Thank you for the Blessing)))))

Here, Dave!
I made you a batch
of my favorite chocolate chip cookies.

I was going to send you "Feel Better" flowers,
Like your niece did.....
But, thought you would enjoy these too!

(You can share them with the family, too - as there are 6 dozen in the box!)

I'm glad you are home...now
GET WELL SOON!!!

Enjoy a Grateful 1st Day of Spring!

[oldteen]

A great day to you jaycee!

Take it easy and just relax! :)

[oldteen]

Are those all yours? lol

I look at several of those daily plus several you didn't picture. All they do these days is collect dust. Sad.

Have a great day!

[oldteen]

So cute, Amy.

Thank you both!

Happy Spring!

Beautiful rose, Kitty.

Hope your Spring day is sunny and blessed!
