The Loving Father by Raymond A. Foss

The true nature of God
revealed in the story of the two sons
the one who roamed and
the one who stayed behind
the reckless and the dutiful
each needing a lesson, to grow
the love, the open arms of the father,
this is the true point of their story
we learn the lesson they could not
watching the loving father,
waiting always, for the wayward children
with arms open wide
to all his children

June 15, 2008
Luke 15:11-32, Lectionary Year A, Prodigal Son,
the Lord’s Prayer, and the sermon,
“Jesus’ Teachings on Fatherhood”,
by Rev. Huntley Halvorson,
Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH, Father’s Day, June 15, 2008
