Luke 15:20  “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him."

Our Lenten series continues this week with a fresh look at Jesus’ familiar parable of the Prodigal Son.  He really messed up, didn’t he?  And he knew it, blaming himself and his selfishness for the mess his life became.  Guilt and shame and fear are really difficult emotions that tend to drag us down to tough places.  That’s where the young man found himself until “he finally came to his senses,” faced up to his situation, and made the difficult decision to go back home.  It was a risk, but the result was amazing!  The love, the grace, the forgiveness his father showered upon him were overwhelming.  Each day holds the possibility of risk, doesn’t it?  Sometimes we manage well.  Other days, not so much.  But, know, Dear Ones, that no matter what, each day also holds opportunities for love and grace and forgiveness.
