'Til We Meet Again
A devotional
by former Liebenzell USA missionary Margaret Thompson
MAR. 27, 2021
It might have started as a “rumor” about ten months ago from one of the granddaughters: “we’re moving.”
On April 6th, that “rumor” became a fact in reality. They moved from Connecticut to Florida. After about 10 years of going to babysit for a day or two on a weekly basis, I miss them already. We had great times together, spiritually and socially. It was a joy to see them grow.
Proverbs 14:13 is a verse that means much to me these days. “Even in laughter the heart may sorrow and the end of mirth may be grief.” Yes, I am feeling sad these days, and the tears do flow. When will we see them again? I leave these concerns to the Lord’s leading (and guiding).
The words of a hymn that sum up my thoughts are:
God be with you ‘til we meet again,
By his counsel’s guide, uphold you,
With his sheep securely fold you.
God be with you ‘til we meet again.
From God’s word: Psalm 94:19 — “In the multitude of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.”
What a privilege to uphold the whole family in prayer, day by day, knowing that God’s way is the best way.
