Lost Sheep Dialogue

" Lord I woke this moring with the words lost sheep on my mind "

" OH! what do you think it meant? "

" well I pictured  myself as a sheep in the meadow where the grass is dry, patchy and bare "

" Oh! what happened then? "

 " well Lord i turned round and all the other sheep were no longer there "

" where did you think they could have  gone? "

" I thought they might of been thirsty and maybe went to find a brook

so I thought I would go and take a look "

" thats good what did you find? "

" I found a stream but the other  sheep were on the other side

but I could not get across as the stream was far too wide "

" OH! what did you do then ? "

" I began to wonder what to do

then I heard a voice come out of the blue. "

" What did the voice say ? "

" the voice  said do not fear don't dispare

I will help you  cross  over there

then a kind man appeared out of nowhere "

" what did the kind man do ? "

" He gently carried me across to where the pastures are Green

and the other sheep asked me where I had been "

" Thats great! what was your reply? "

" I told them that I was in the meadow

LOST and all alone

then the kind mans voice said

" my lost sheep welcome home "

" Great you have got it "

" Sorry Lord I am lost now"

" Yes dear you were once lost but now you are found "

" You no longer have to wander in the meadow all alone

for I am the good shepherd that always brings my lost sheep back home. "

No matter how bad our life has been the Lord always brings us lost sheep back to where the 
pastures are green, never will he leave you never will he forsake you. to anyone who is lost 
Just ask the Lord to show the way home he will come and fetch you. Amen. to anyone who 
feels Lost God will find you and bring you home.

Diane, how true that God calls his "lost sheep" home, never more "to wander in the meadow all alone." I like your style! Carolyn
