Expecting Company!

Just two more days and three precious visitors will be here with us for a week. Special sisters of years ago. We grew up together, attended school and church together. We supported one another, cried and laughed with each other. We braved the storms of young adulthood together, celebrating life passages of dating, marriage and children.

A friendship that weathers the passage of time and now we are grandmothers together. 

The house is ready, their rooms are cleaned and waiting for the sound of feet on the stairs and laughter, talking and , yes, giggling in the rooms. The groceries will fill the refrigerator and cupboards tomorrow and even sweet Wendy is bathed and smelling pretty! The tickets were purchased -  long ago, the suitcases are almost ready and now we wait in joyful anticipation.

We know the time of arrival and even the minute the tires touch down at DFW.  I smile to think of the fun we are going to have.

This morning I thought of another coming. Easter is just a few days away in which we celebrate our Lord’s short visit here. He is coming again! Everything’s ready on His end. All the plans, all the preparations are completed. The “plane is ready for take-off”! It’s just waiting for the ok from Flight Control . . . He’s coming to take us HOME!
