This time of year our thoughts turn toward home. How warming it is to read about that son that did come home in Luke 15:8-24. He was just like so many of us who thought "there's got to be more and better out there. I'm going to find out." So we gather our stuff and head out only to start making bad choices.
But then comes the thrilling part - the big turn around. When times get really hard, this son finally "comes to himself". It's like he meets up with the real boy (or now humble young man), who knows where to go. And it is home.
And what a short the trip. The watching Father runs out to meet him. The young man doesn't even get all his prepared speech spit out before the father starts ordering up honor and celebration. His son has come home!
Lord, thank you for calling and watching for us. We love how you welcome us home.
