Prayer: Dear God, find us when we are lost so we may find our joy in you. Amen
Reading: Luke 15: 1-10 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Robert Blake wrote a lovely little poem “Little lamb, who made thee?” He married Catherine, a woman who could neither read nor write. He taught her and later she helped him illustrate and print his poetry. (This was in the 1780s). A number of years ago our daughter Ruth and I were hiking the British countryside and we came upon a little lamb whose head was caught in the wire fencing. She somehow climbed into the pasture and freed the lamb who happily pranced off. Then Ruth had to figure a way out which was not as easy as getting in. I wrote a poem about this...now if I could only find it? I will be happy when I do! God rejoices when one of his lost is found and we are invited to join the celebration. -- Alice Yeakel
