π β€οΈ WELCOME HOME! β€οΈπ
We had such a fun morning in Childrenβs Church learning about The Prodigal Son from Luke 15!
We even had a special visitorβProdigal Pete! πΊπ And letβs just sayβ¦ Pete had gotten a little off track!
Through Pete, the kids learned what it means to be spiritually lost and talked about some of the things that can begin pulling our hearts away from God. We learned that just like someone can be physically lost, we can also wander away from God when we choose our own way instead of His.
Then we learned about the Prodigal Sonβa son who left his father and went his own way. When he finally realized how far he had wandered, he decided to go HOME.
And this was the part we really wanted our kids to remember:
β€οΈ His father was watching for him.
β€οΈ His father had compassion on him.
β€οΈ His father RAN to meet him.
β€οΈ And his father welcomed him HOME!
What a beautiful picture of the heart of our Heavenly Father. God loves the lost, and He rejoices when they turn back to Him!
To finish our lesson, the kids made their own WELCOME HOME signs to take with them as a reminder of the Father's love. π π¨β€οΈ
π βBut when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.β
Luke 15:20 KJV
We pray that as these little ones grow, they always remember that there is nothing this world has to offer that compares to being close to their Heavenly Father and they can always come home β€οΈ
