My husband Johnny has a good one I thought I'd share with you. His posture as he awaits the appearing of the Lord Jesus to take us believers out is that everything is subject to "rapture" cancellation. He puts it like this: "Just picture your best case scenario. Say you met the man or woman of your dreams and it's your wedding day. Or you are a parent expecting a beautiful baby boy or girl at any moment. Or a musician who AFTER 57 YEARS (ahem) finally got signed up with Arista records :) Well, if, under those circumstances, you can still cry from the heart: "Come Lord Jesus!" you're priorities are in the right place, in other words, Hope up front." I have been exhorted by this and I hope someone else will be too. In my years with the expectation of His appearing (32 so far), I have observed that it is something that can get drowned out by the pleasures and/or pressures of this world. Have to be determined to keep it on the front burner or it will drift for sure. Sometimes I remind myself of how Jesus might be feeling about getting us all up there to safety and it helps me.
