Homecoming

Since more and more soldiers are coming home these days, there are tons of videos on tv and online of soldiers surprising their families with their homecoming.  I tear up...every...time.  Especially when the kids just fall apart into sobs and whimpers because they missed their Daddies & Mommies so.  Every time I see one of these videos it makes me imagine what my homecoming will be like.  I've studied a little Daniel and Revelations and I know He's coming back in all kids of loud, crazy (frightening) glory.  But at some point, I guess at my judgment, I imagine I'll get to be alone with Christ.  Maybe while I'm waiting outside the courtroom.  I bet He'll be late just to make me sweat.  But I wonder what I'll do.  Will I fall on the floor and weep in shame and humility?  Will I run to Him as soon as I recognize Him and jump into His arms?  Will I ask for ID?

I really, really hope it's not an awkward hand shake.
