>The Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the 
>voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in 
>Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left 
>will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the 
>air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
>--1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
>New International Version

>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>What do you have that is forever? Most of everything we have falls apart, 
>breaks, or runs down in a short time. But we have three things that last 
>forever: God, our Christian friends, and our praise of God. These are eternal.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>God, I look forward to the day of your next great surprise. I join the 
>angels in standing on tiptoe as I look to the clouds to see my Lord, your 
>Son, return in glory and receive the welcome and honor he deserves.I 
>praise you for that day now, even though I see it only by faith. Until I 
>see you on that day, please know my heart's desire is to serve you, even 
>when my weakness gets in the way of showing it as fully as I should. My 
>thanks to you in Jesus' name. Amen.
