The Family!

My son brought me to my door after midnight last night; tired, but filled with sweet memories of a few days spent with family at a Family Reunion -- the High School graduation of my granddaughter, Angel, with a class of about 200 students from various parts of the globe who home-schooled through A.C.E. -- and a wonderful time of family fun and fellowship staying in a Chalet together on top of a mountain in TN!  The only sad part was that my son, Jonathan, and his family were not able to go with us.

Then I thought about how wonderful it is to be part of the family of God!  Sometimes, now, there are circumstances that make it impossible for all the family to be together; but if we will be true to God, there is coming a day when all of God's family can sit down together at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!  What a wonderful day that will be!  I love this beautiful scripture in Revelation 5:11-13:

     "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
      Saying, with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
      And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."  Praise the Lord!
