Wandering & Lost

Luke 15:1010 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

One day Ethel had puppies.  She had them under the bunk house....or you can call it a shed.
One day my husband was on the porch and he heard the puppies.  So, he looked through the cracks of the porch and he saw one of the puppies.  It was black and white spotted.  Then he called me so I could go look at the puppy.
The next day my hubby got the puppy out from under the porch and found another black and white spotted puppy.  He brought them both in the house, then brought Ethel into the house.  Ethel nursed them and wanted back outside.  My hubby watched her and he saw that she went back under the bunk house. 
This time he listened hard and he heard noises at the back of the bunk house.  Puppy noises!  So he crawled under the back of the bunk house and found three more puppies!  One who had brown spots and two who looked like Ethel.  He brought the other three puppies into the house. 
The two puppies who scooted away from the rest of the litter, their brothers and sisters, reminded me of people.  These puppies had their eyes shut, so their world was dark.  They left their family, they wandered away.
Sometimes people will shut their eyes to Jesus, and to the light, the knowledge and love He gives them.  They wander away from their family and from Jesus into a world of sin, of darkness.
Ethel kept going to her wandering puppies, taking care of them, trying to keep them with the family.  Jesus keeps going after people lost in the darkness of sin, loving them, caring for them, wanting them back in His family.
Jesus is awesome.
I AM BLESSED.
Keep Smiling!!  :)
