PART 2

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him." Luke 15:20




If there is a scene in this story that deserves to be framed, it's the one of the father's outstretched hands.
His tears are moving.
His smile is stirring.
But his hands tell the story...his hands call us home.
Imagine those hands.
Strong fingers.
Palms wrinkled with lifelines.
Stretching open like a wide gate, leaving entrance as the only option.





"He ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
... (and then he said) bring the fatted calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate!"
Luke 15:20 & 23

The peace of unconditional love. How cool to know that we can spend eternity in heaven, even if we had been 'lost' during our journy. All we have to do is ask!
