Reunion

School friends do it, military friends do it, university graduates do it, and many more besides, but the greatest reunion in this life is a family reunited! There are some cases of long lost family members meeting again, who were possibly separated at a very young age. As the years have rolled by, they have been granted a reunion in old age. Some have learned about siblings they never know they had. These are wonderful, heart warming stories, and cannot fail to touch the hardest of hearts.

Those who know the circumstances will not be surprised at the appearance of this subject on the Blog Page. After all, the Blogger is enjoying the happy experience of a Family Reunion, and making the most of the holiday time together. How can I, a Dad and Granda, not be overwhelmed by the love shown as we enjoy a simple family reunion? It’s not as if we are not close to start with. We are, but it is in the re-union (literally) of the individual parts that we realise how we are joined together. In family love yes, but it’s greater than that.

We, who claim Christ, are all due to celebrate our own family reunion, perhaps not now, or even very soon, but certainly in the future. We are not in control of the timing, but all those dim and hazy experiences we have enjoyed with our God here, will become clear as day as we are joined together in heaven. Not only that, there is the bonus of being truly reunited with family we still miss from our lives. Now that is a double bonus, great family reunion in Glory, to be fully enjoyed only by those who own the name of Jesus.

A double bonus of a family re-union on earth, and in heaven. Now what greater family reunion can there be?
