Retreat with Jesus: Day Fourteen

Todays reading was from Luke 15: 11-32 and is the story Jesus told of the prodigal son.
A few years ago I did the above painting for a friend's birthday. She collects all things PIG. I named the painting 'Where's that prodigal gone'….

I doubt the pigs really noticed that the prodigal left them…but it's a comical picture of two pigs looking like they're discussing life over the garden wall. I wonder what conversation they would have had should they have known the love and acceptance the father showed to the wayward son.

The prodigal son story is so similar to my own experience. I am forever grateful for the love of the Father and so glad I found my way HOME to His heart.
