God's Lost and Found

We all feel lost from time to time. We can’t figure out which path to take. As parents that is an all too familiar feeling. The decisions are endless and unrelenting, and we rarely know if the decisions we make are the “right” ones. The path of faith is filled with decisions as well. We are constantly trying to choose the best way to follow Jesus, but sometimes we wind-up far from where we intended to go. The parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1-7) reminds us that no matter where we end up, God loves and is there with us.


Book:
Lost Sheep by Juliet David
 






Activity:
Play hide and seek with several stuffed animals.
 
Prayer:
Dear God
Thank you that you love and are always with us and the little sheep,
Thank you for _______________
Amen.
