"Been to a class reunion lately?"

Last month I participated in my high school graduating class’ 30th reunion. I couldn’t attend the 10th and didn’t know about the 20th so this was my first ever. And I have to admit it was really interesting…

…I don’t understand how all of them had aged so much and I hadn’t. I mean they were balder and bigger, had wrinkles and had to wear bifocals. Of course I’m none of those things…yea, right!

Seriously, since I hadn’t seen most of them in 30 years, it was really comical because I didn’t have a clue as to who some of them are. I kept getting asked that dreaded question, "Do you remember me?" I mean, there’s no way of faking an answer.

So I just confessed, "Nope," and introduced myself. But you know, as I talked with each person and started recalling childhood memories, and telling stories about each other, and laughing, I remembered. Their spirits—that part of you that never ages—spoke to my spirit and we were together again.

God’s spirit unites us all. Listen for that spirit as you make a life, not just a living today.
