Hey Kids it’s dad, and for today’s TommyLog I want to talk to you about something I saw while standing in the security line at the Atlanta airport.

I saw a family of cousins, uncles, nieces, boyfriends, girlfriends, mom’s, dad’s brothers and sisters all waiting for a return missionary. They had signs, they had balloons –they were all smiling they were jumping up-and-down with anticipation.

It was so awesome to watch it happen. Missionaries for our churches her for 18 months or two years. I didn’t know if this was going to be a guy or a girl getting off the plane. Traditionally you wait to be the last person off the plane and sure enough this gentleman was the last person off the plane.

It was awesome to watch and see who was the mom and who would run into his arms first. Mom got the first hug, girlfriend who would been waiting patiently for two years got the second hug. It was awesome.

Kinda made me think about what our homecoming will be like when we go to the other side. Will be waiting for us? Which ancestors love this the most will be waiting there as we go on the other side. Homecomings are sweet.
