My 17-year old granddaughter just left after a wonderful afternoon visit.  I just got out of the hospital with pneumonia and my dog needed a bath so she came over to bathe him for me.  We had Chai tea and Cappcino with cookies and began talking about Christmas.  She felt Christmas had been different this year and was not certain why that was.
 
We began to talk about the Rapture and she got very excited.  She had lots of questions which I answered as best I could.  I talked with her about my excitement and she asked me if I thought He will come back this year.  I hope so.  She began to get excited about the idea.  We visited the Five Doves Website and Grace Thru Faith and watched the video Midnight Cry.  She hopes He comes for us on a Sunday during her Sunday School class.  She thinks that would be awesome to be raptured as a group of worshippers.
 
I gave her some websites to explore and she left in anticipation of Christ's coming.  She said she will wake up each morning and think it might be today!!  We were also able to talk about some of our family members who are not Christian and our need to continue to witness and pray for them.  I have a rather distant cousin who is not even atheist because to be an atheist would mean he has to admit there is God.  I met him through genealogy research.  I remember his sweet saintly grandmother who was my grandmother's auntie (they were almost the same age).  I shared with Erin how I have been witnessing to him by email and his responses are becoming more and more positive.  Praise the Lord.  I sent him the Midnight Cry and his response was good.
 
God is giving us a little more time to work on the people we love who are not Christians yet and may not be by the time of His return for us, but the seeds will have been planted.
