the return

Every week at church someone prays for the men and women that are in the military who are deployed. I cry every time. I love this country so so much! This last Sunday we had the joy of welcoming home one of our deployed soldiers…he returned safely. HUGE praises! The pastor welcomed him and everyone stood up and cheered! It was awesome!!

Throughout this week I have been thinking about when Jesus comes home to get us. What a day of rejoicing that will be!! I think of how excited the girls get when john comes in from football practice and it has only been 12 hours since they saw him last. Can you imagine what it will be like when the King of Kings returns? The trumpet will sound, the clouds will part and there He will be on a white horse ready to claim His bride – every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord! There will be no room for doubting….He WILL BE. My prayer at this moment is that if you do not know Him as your personal Savior is that you run…don’t walk to the cross. Fall before Him and let Him forgive you. If you have a moments hesitation about who He really is….clear it up today. Don’t let another second go by because only the Father knows when His Son will return….will you be ready to welcome Him?
