"Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality."

// 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 //

It is a very nice thought that I will be able to once again physically touch loved ones who have gone before me; my dad has been doing some ancestry research and there are so many relatives that of course I have never met but hopefully one day will. There is indeed some mystery; will my beloved grandmother appear as she did at age 20, 30, 40, 60, or 80? Will my Uncle Gary have his incredible beard? Will my grandfather retain his male-pattern baldness or will he have a full head of hair? We shall see.

I can't wait to find out who the very earliest believers were in my family line, and what missionary or apostle reached them.

An interesting scripture full of hope which I love.
Although the changing is in the twinkling of an eye ,we wont disappear from view instantly,this is a misconception .Great verses staff

It is indeed great feeling to be reunited with loves ones and be with our LORD, Mr. Todd... :)
