Greetings Evang. Cookie,

I read this blog too and this one is a tough one. Cause I was doing a word search for the exact words,"reunions or gatherings" and thus far I have not found one that would best fit to what I believe you are looking for. I am still searching, using synonyms, and it has been a challenge.  I will continue to do the search and will keep you posted to my findings.

What we do know for a certainty is that God values family very much. He has the largest one of many nations.  When we come together in His name, as a family, God desires that we love one another, help each other out and so on.  This we see in the Word of God much.  In like manner, when we have our own families we would do the same.  As I am writing, I am seeing how God would be in the midst of our families enjoying us and we Him.

As I mentioned earlier, I will still keep looking and whatever I will find I will share it with you.  This may take awhile though. 

God continue to Bless you my dear sister!

His servant, Vicky
