I can’t listen to Ann Murray sing, “Someone’s Always Saying Goodbye.” We’ve been at too many airports and seen too many cars leaving our yard to be able to handle this song.
Railroad station, Midnight trains
Lonely airports in the rain
And somebody stands there with tears in their eyes
It’s the same old scene, time after time
That’s the trouble with all mankind
Somebody’s always sayin’ goodbye
When our youngest grandson was hardly more than an infant, he was on my shoulders as I was walking around the airport. My son kept an eye on me because he thought I would leave with him. He knew how hard it was going to be for us to part.
Separation is a constant struggle for us in this life and it presents itself in multiple relationships. However, there is one relationship in which we will never experience separation.
Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
The answer to the second question was an unequivocal, no.
No, I didn’t kidnap my grandson. If I had, he would have been returned after his first dirty diaper presented itself.
Think about it.
