Just sitting here looking out of the kitchen, window sipping on a cup of Door County Peanut Butter Crunch Coffee and reviewing the events of yesterday in my mind.
Yesterday my Dad took part in the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight with many other veterans who were honored for their service to our country. These veterans are up there in years. Those honored were from World War Two and the Korean War.
As would be expected, the evening was filled with cheering and plenty of tears. It was a touching event to experience. The tears were of two varieties, happiness and sorrow. None the less, there were tears.
I got caught up in the moment and my mind started to wander which is quite normal for me.
My mind took me ahead in time, to the day when all wars would cease, pain would not exist, sorrow would vanish, and there would be no more tears.
In every life there are days of joy and there are days of sorrow. In every life there are days of hurt and there are days of laughter. But some day when Jesus returns He will keep a promise once more. Those who have nested their faith in Jesus as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords will have every tear wiped from their eyes.
Revelation 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for former things have all passed away.
Now there is a day worth looking forward to.
Enjoy your Sunday. God bless.
Marty
