Pastor Trudy's Weekend Message
You know that moment of panic when you can't find your credit card or cell phone...your mind starts to spin as you mentally or physically retrace your steps while also thinking about what you'll need to do if it really is lost. Maybe your heart rate increased at the thought of it like mine did. A lost pet or one that needs a home evokes a different feeling ...sadness, compassion. Lost people bring up different feelings connected to what we feel their role has been in their own lostness, like the younger son who squanders his inheritance in our Gospel lesson. What does God do with lost people?
God, You never stop watching for the lost ones. Knowing that we are often lost without realizing it, thank you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
