Lost Sheep

try to picture yourself as a sheep

 you're  in the meadow where the grass is dry, patchy and bare
you turn around and see that the other sheep are no longer there,
maybe they were thirsty and went to find a brook
so you take a wander to go and have a look,
you come to a stream and see the sheep on the other side
but you carn't get across as the stream is far too wide,
you begin to wonder what you will do
then a voice comes out of the blue
" do not fear don't dispare I will help you get over  there"
then a kind man appeared out of no where,
he gently carries you across to where the pastures are green
and the other sheep asks "where you have been?"
I was in the meadow I was lost and all alone
then the kind mans voice said
"my lost sheep welcome home"

we  are like the lost sheep but we no longer have to wander around alone
for the Lord is the good shepherd who always brings his lost sheep back home. I once was 
lost but now I am found Amen.
