"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:25 (NIV)

I love family reunions!   

A few years ago my wife, Joy, and I were invited to a huge reunion for a large family in our church. This family had been in the church since the 1920s and had six generations represented that day. The reunion was held at the family farm which still had the original farm house that served as the family home for more than 70 years. Nearly 200 family members were present at this historic gathering. For some it was the first time to meet their relatives. I can assure you that no one went away disappointed that they came. In fact, they still talk about it to this day.
