Okay, so if you've been watching the news at all over the last several months, you know that the North Korean Government has been holding two US reporters for crossing illegally into their country and they were sentenced to Hard Labor in a work camp.
Over the past 24 hours, they were released by the head of the North Korean government into the care of Former President, Bill Clinton.
I was in tears, sobbing, as I scrolled through the pictures of these women being reunited with their families today. I just showed the video to my husband and started crying again! I look at these pictures of these two accomplished women and their families, who have been seperated for months, not knowing what the future held for them. To see them fall into each others arms, embrace, cry tears of joy and let loose the anguish they felt, just hit my heart.
This picture of reunion that I saw for these families today, the relief I felt for them, the joy, happiness and urgency to wrap there arms around those that love them, is for me, just really impacted me.
When I die, and got to be with Jesus, there will be no more anguish. Pure joy. No more tears. Jesus will be there to greet me and wrap His arms around me. And I'll get hugs from Grandparents that doted on me as a little girl, a little baby I didn't get to meet, a tigger like hug from a soldier, hear the joyous laugh of an African friend and see the graceful twirl of a little friend, who loved my husband's laugh.
Reunion.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4
