I was thinking this week about one of the most wonderful persons I have ever known, Della Vaughn, my mother-in-law.  She accepted me into the family immediately when J.D. and I married and became like a second mother to me.
While reminiscing about her, I remembered hearing Mrs. Vaughn tell about how worried she and Mr. Floyd were while J.D. was serving in the Army during World War II.  J.D. was in the Signal Corps and back in those days the line of communication from the commanding officers to the front line was a telephone wire that was laid by soldiers in the Signal Corps.
J.D. was in the South Pacific for five years during the war, and when the fighting ended, he came home without letting his parents know when he would arrive.  Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn saw him walking at a distance.  Both of them started running to meet him.  Mrs. Vaughn said that Mr. Floyd outran her to get there first.
I think they must have had a revival meeting at that moment.  Mrs. Vaughn was a very spiritual person, and when she became happy in the Lord, she would shout to the top of her voice.  They cried, laughed and hugged while Mrs. Vaughn continued to praise the Lord for J.D.’s safe return from the war.  He was frail and sickly but was home.
With our celebration of Easter and the Lord’s resurrection, it reminded me again about the importance of life on earth and also about eternal life that Christians will enjoy.
