I just saw two young girls on Larry's Country Diner singing a song written by Rhonda Vincent, called: "Homecoming." Here are the words.
There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day
Precious ones have gone on before
Our Lord waits for no man
Salvation will gain us a ticket
To see them and a place in God's final plan
There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day
He will come like a theif in the night
To take us to Heaven on high
There we'll gather once more
With those we adore
In a place where we never shall die
There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day
There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready
For Heaven's homecoming day
The song was especially harmonious to me, because I have been praying every day for thirty-eight months, since my only daughter was called to heaven, for Jesus to come and reunite us. On the 20th day of every month, the day she left us, for thirty-eight months, I have experienced a renewed sense of sorrow that she is no longer with us. Sometimes I do not know what is wrong until I realize what day it is. There is nothing on earth equal to the pain of losing a child, and there is no comfort adequate for the loss. Yes, I have read all of the Bible passages having to do with our hope of heaven. I know the power of His promises. But it does not remove the big void in my heart. I can say that I desperately want to see Jesus and to be with my beloved once again. I can also say that God has taught me the meaning of the words of His Apostle in Colossians 3:2: "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." I have learned, albeit in a limited way, the power of the resurrection of Chirst, because therein lies the hope of every believer. The very gospel is "how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." That is our faith. That is our hope. That is our joy. One day He will fulfill all things by coming for us and reuniting us with those who have gone on before. God hasten the day of that great homecoming when we all meet on the other side.
