• Great time with my friend, FAMILY. Thinking back on our last couple of days I am just trying to take it all in. There were tears and many laughs. Hugs and I love yous. Prayers, blessings, request, thanksgiving. The sharing of old stories some new to some. Remembering those we loved who are with Jesus.
    I am just kinda amazed how different we are but how alike we are. We would fight anyone for each other. The family blood runs through our veins. We are bonded forever. Even my dear friend Martha who writes with me we had not seen each other for years and it was like I had just seen her yesterday.
    There is a special bond between the family of God. My cousins talked about all the different denominations in our family. We shared our different ways of worship. How diversified we all are. In heaven we will be more united. We will be one with our God and each other. There will be no separation. Our differences will be the very thing that makes us beautiful to our Lord. There will be such love and joy among us and our Lord and Father. Even now we have an unconditional love for each other because of being family and the family of God.
    I don't know. I am just thinking. It was really neat. We even prayed for those that weren't there and missed them. No one could take their place. There was a void with them not being there. THat is the same in the family of God. No one can take your place. You Father has a special place and a special destiny in this amazing Family of His.
    If you have friends you are blessed. If you have family you are blessed. If all you have is Jesus you belong to a family bigger than you can even imagine. We now even are to meet each others needs and support each other. We need the body, the family. Our families now are nothing but a picture of a bigger picture of the family that is ours now and forever more.

      My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 

      You know the Way to the place where I am going."
