For nine days my two daughters were off to Mexico on a mission trip. They flew to San Diego, California, and then drove 200 miles into Mexico with a group of other students and adults. Each day they met together for worship, spent time sharing hugs and musical dramas, and experienced life in a small town in Mexico and in a migrant camp. Quite an experience for them.

My wife and I were really looking forward to their return...and they returned. It was so nice to see them again and have all of us in our family together.

It made me think about how God must feel when his family comes home, must be quite a great experience in heaven. God knows what is going to happen and still enjoys the moment when people come home to Him.
