Grace for your spirit 2-6-18

Grace for your spirit
A man had two sons.  The younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me." So he divided his wealth between them.   Luke 15:11

This is the beginning of the story we call, "The Prodigal Son."The name prodigal is not found in the Bible, but literally means extravagantly wasteful.  After wasting everything, he ended up in a pigpen, and ultimately returned in shame.  We don't know what kind of person he was before he left home, but apparently those thoughts were already in him.  We need to he careful that we do not waste God's blessing He has given us.  We may not be in the pigpen yet, but we might be on the trail to one.  Let's ask God to lead us the right paths and overcome our problems.  With His grace we can all have a great day.
