House Darrell lived in when 5-6 years of age
Last winter I received a friend request from someone wanting to be my Facebook friend. The name did not ring a bell. I didn't want to just ignore it without checking to see if there was a past connection I had forgotten so I replied back "help me with our past connection." I received a reply back saying the person was an old high school friend and he was helping with a search to find the Pike High School class of 1964 (my class). The class was planning their 45th year reunion for September 12.I had not seen any high school classmates since high school. This past weekend my wife and I made the trip to Indiana and attended the reunion.
While in Indiana we made other reunion stops as well. We stayed with my brother and his wife (the only one of my siblings still in the area where we grew up). We visited our childhood homes, mine is now gone and a beautiful new home is there now. We visited some relatives we had not seen in several years. I stopped by and said hello to an old neighborhood friend, was he surprised to see me after 45+ years. We visited with some dear friends of ours who live in the area.

Reunions are a grand time of renewing old acquaintances and remembering old times. However there is a grand reunion coming someday that none of us want to miss. Jesus said He is coming back for us someday. Someday, I don't know when, neither do you, but the call to go up higher for an eternal reunion is going to come. We call it the rapture of the church. In an instant we will go up. There will be no email notice, no phone call to say it is coming, no fax to say get prepared, no text message saying, "I am coming", it is just suddenly going to happen. I want to be ready when the call comes. How about you?
