The lost Dogs

They were lost

I knew something was wrong because she didn’t speak to me when she came home that evening. I asked her what was wrong? She said, “They are lost and I can’t find them. “She had taken her young dogs hunting earlier in the day and they got lost. She had been hunting with her dogs about 15 miles from home. She spent most of the day looking for the dogs but to no avail. That night she spent a lot of time on the phone calling different neighbors to see if they had seen her dogs. To my wife’s good fortune, the dogs were found several days later (sore feet, tired, and real hungry-the dogs, not my wife). Being lost was not a pleasant experience for the dogs or for my wife and I believe they really enjoyed being found (both dogs and wife). I was reminded of something the Bible says about being lost and found. It says that man in his natural state is lost (in great danger) or separated from God (Isaiah 59:2). It also says that Jesus loves us very much and came to find that which is lost (Luke 19:10). If we will acknowledge what Jesus did on the cross for us and put our faith in him (confess him as Lord and Savior, Romans 10:9, 10&11), we will be found (Luke 15:24&32). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J
