BONUS BLOG: Are You Missing Someone?

This is the day son LJ4 was to fly back to his home.

He was to have arrived here on Palm Sunday.

Like so many others, we’ve had to reschedule our time together.

I miss him.

Talking, texting, using FaceTime, Zoom, Skype and more, it’s all wonderful and you and I are grateful for such things.

But it’s not the same.

I miss him.

Are you missing someone?

Are you like the parent in a story Christ Jesus told (Luke 15:11-32) who was watching and waiting and looking and longing for someone?

We know the dad in that story was all of those things, because Jesus included this detail about the son coming home: while he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His father was scanning the horizon, or else how could he have seen his son when he was still a long way off?

Missing someone today?

Is someone missing you today?

If there’s something healthy we can do to close that distance, let’s do.

And I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
