Finding the Lost
During the season of Lent, we'll be talking about the spiritually lost. Pastors Henry & Amy shared with us their feelings during a time when they each felt physically lost and we talked about how that compares to being spiritually lost. Amy was lost on an island without a map and Henry was rolled around dizzily in a great wave without air to breathe. Both were overcome by fear, irrationality and regret over bad decisions and mistakes made.
In Psalm 119, we hear the psalmist talk about how thankful he is for all the rules that God has given him. As Christians, we are reminded that we have God's word as a map for our lives. We are given actual directions to find our way out spiritually, and Jesus is our leader. He is the only way to real life.
We were encouraged to think of 3 people who are lost and to pray for them throughout lent. I thought of 3 people who I wasn't sure about and I'll be reminded to pray that Jesus will lead them home when I see the cord with 3 beads.
"I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands." Psalm 119:176

I wish I was there during the series. I made my own bracelet at a Seniors Expo. (Yikes.) I'll use that bracelet to pray for the lost in my family and neighborhood. (I have more than three beads.)
It's great to still keep up with MCC. the devotionals, the sermon through this site while we are away.
Thanks for keeping up with us!!!
