<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYesterday, the Fort Worth hotel lobby transformed into a full-blown festival of hugs, squeals, and toddlers zipping between suitcases. You could practically hear the theme music playing as family streamed in from near and far — California cousins included!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The joy? Palpable.
The chatter? Nonstop.
The smiles? Wide enough to split Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sure, it’s a hotel — but when you’re with people who matter — it feels like home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This tradition, carried forward faithfully by family members who refused to let it fade, is sacred. Roots matter. It isn\u2019t about the roof over our heads — it\u2019s about the arms around our shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while this is a family homecoming, it\u2019s also a beautiful rehearsal for the final Homecoming.

Can you imagine it? The moment we arrive in heaven\u2019s eternal reunion — no baggage, no jet lag, no awkward small talk. Just perfect joy. Revelation 21:4 promises: \u201cHe will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that\u2019s a reservation worth keeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until then, we\u2019ll keep celebrating down here \u2013 family and faith, with daily glimpses of heaven. We\u2019ll tell the stories, hold each other close \u2013 because that\u2019s what families do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Fort Worth to forever, this homecoming is a taste of what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n\n\n

As precious as it is to embrace these family members here \u2013 I can\u2019t help but think: \u201cEven so, come Lord Jesus come \u2013 any time \u2013 any day! I\u2019m ready for that reunion \u2013 how about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
