Homecoming

It's homecoming weekend at Minden High School.  All the students are excited about the game.  The class floats have been completed in hopes of winning.  The alumni are in town, excited to see friends from the past.  The whole town is buzzing with anticipation.  It's homecoming!  But its also a sad day.  One of our own has gone to be with our Lord.  Three young men have lost their dad.  And we wonder why?  Why do things like this happen?  Well, if we stop and think about it, it's still a homecoming.  There is a homecoming in heaven!  They are all excited to see their friend from the past!  The whole "town" is buzzing with anticipation.  Another one of God's saints is coming home!!  Homecoming.....just in a different kind of way.
