The Day the Wall came down

November 9, 1989. I remember the date well. I lived in Nurnberg Germany and that was the day the “Wall” came down in Germany. The excitement was everywhere. The West Germans were so welcoming to the East Germans. They were being reunited with relatives that they could no longer visit or communicate with. The electricity in the air was amazing. There was fireworks, people singing, celebrating but mostly, loving one another.

 People were inviting people they didn’t even know that escaped the wall, to stay with them at their homes. Our military base opened up rooms, gym and other places for them to rest. Their little cars were one of the greatest sites to see.

Now, I am a Christ follower and I wonder if that is how it is in heaven when someone gives their life to Christ. You are free. No longer living in bondage. You have escaped that wall that has kept you a prisoner. So celebrate like the Germans did back on that special day in 1989.
