I spent Father's Day in the Wisconsin Dells - "Waterpark Capital of the World".
It was a family reunion with Julie's side of the family coming together to celebrate Barb and Doc's 50th wedding anniversary and to celebrate Dave Keller's 75th birthday.
From the North came Chrissy and her boyfriend Bob from Minocqua, Wisconsin.
From the West came Pete and Mary with their two boys (young men) Tyler and Ryan from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
From the East came Dave and Ellen Keller from Atltanta, Georgia.
From the East came Barb and Doc from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
From the South came the Dendy family from Dubuque, Iowa.
Together we sat around the dinner table and feasted on great food and conversation while celebrating these great milestones of birthdays and anniversaries.
Today... everyone is returning from whence they came...
My iWitness...
I love this imagery of "convergence"... people coming from all over the map to be at one spot, at one place and time to celebrate.
I love this quote by Jesus in talking about the Kingdom of Heaven...
"And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God." (Luke 13. 29)
As Julie's family converged on the Wisconsin Dells - Waterpark Capital of the Word so too the day will come when all of God's children will converge on the Heavenly Kingdom - Everlasting "Living Water" Park Capital of the Universe.
And we will recline and rest and relax and rejoice around the table that God has prepared for us and for Himself, the only difference being... we will never return from whence we came.
And that my friends is the best news of the day!
And that's my iWitness...
Laugh often and Fear not!
David!
