Someone asked, “Will we know one another in Heaven?” That question, I believe, was answered by the apostle, Paul, when he wrote a letter to Christians in Thessalonica about their loved ones who had died. Here’s what he wrote:
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
Look For Me

sung by Tanya (Goodman) SykesWhen you finally make your entrance to that city
Of jasper walls, and bright gold avenues
As you behold all it’s beauty and its splendor
Remember there’s just one request I make of youChorus:
Look for me, for I will be there too
I realize, when you arrive, there’ll be so much to view,
After you’ve been there 10,000 years, a million, maybe two,
Look for me, for I will be there tooAs you go down your list of firsts, there’s no question
You’ll want to see your loved ones waiting there for you,
And when you feel you’ve shared your story with the last one
That wants to hear you tell just how you made it through2nd Chorus, sung after 2nd verse:
Look for me, I’d like to hear it too
I realize when you arrive, there’ll be so much to view,
After you’ve been there 10,000 years, a million, maybe two,
Look for me, for I will be there too
