Our family is spread across three states and nine-hundred miles. So we developed an email group with regular updates to keep everyone connected. We call it the Breakfast Club, and everyone’s subject line is supposed to be what they had for breakfast that morning. It almost fools us into thinking we are in the same town.
Here is a glimpse into the Breakfast Club last Friday:
Email #1 (While I was checking in at my desk)
Someone say something to remind us God is still on the throne, please. I’m so heartbroken about the elementary school shooting in Connecticut. What is wrong with people?! Deep breath. Dad, you read The End. Remind us what happens.
Char
Email #2 (Moments later)
Char, I was about to send the same email. Trying not to ugly cry right now. Trying to remain calm and hold myself back from going to the school to bring my children home and never send them back or to any other public place…
Chelle
Email #3 (Before I had time to tell their Dad they were begging for help)
This is from the end of the book
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
Revelation 21:1-8
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea no longer existed. I also saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look! God’s dwelling is with humanity,
and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them
and be their God.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Death will no longer exist;
Grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer, because the previous things have passed away.
Then the One seated on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new.” …
Joe
Hope this helps you today, too.
Love, The Breakfast Club
