Philippians
3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

This week I
was honored to visit with friends I hadn’t seen for over thirty years. Several
of us gathered at our classmate Helen’s home. She lives near Kentucky Christian
(College) University, the campus we all attended. The stories and laughter
flowed as we remembered our professors, crazy antics and the fun we shared. Of
course, the talk led to the twists and turns that formed our lives.
Visiting our
alma mater reminded us of what brought us together in the first place. We
shared a love for Jesus. As students we attended chapel and praised God
together. As adults, we shared how Jesus has moved through our lives and led us
to minister. Even though some of us suffered with physical ailments, heartbreak
and sorrow, we also rejoiced in the love and joy that our God poured over us
and continues to spill on our lives. We tasted a touch of heaven this week as
we praised the Lord for his blessings. With that on my mind, I can’t help but long
for the day when Jesus returns and takes his followers to that glorious place
called home.
And just think, we'll spend all eternity together praising our Lord. Love ya, Jody H.
