For 10 years I've prayed for him and this song as I read it became a prayer for him. God has plans for him I know. God bless you for sharing, I needed to read this. <br />Hugs,<br />SonyaSonya Badgleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141474541370777646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-19426898330789046892010-10-18T16:34:37.563-05:002010-10-18T16:34:37.563-05:00Rebecca.

I looked up Prodigal in the dictionary and it meant lavish to point of excess, extravagant expenditure, expending wastefully, profuse. The title of the sermon is Prodigal Love for the Prodigal Son. It isn't so much the Son this story is about but the Lavish, extravagant love the Father had for the son! He goes into detail of how significant each act is- the running, kissing, ring etc. It is just an awesome reminder of how very much the Father loves us!! I am still trying to get my mind around that thought!<br /><br />I can send you the paper via email if you would like - just let me know!<br /><br />As I am writing this I am thinking this would be a great post for me to do someday on this- <br /><br />bee blessed<br />maryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-75203132369444701842010-10-17T09:43:37.271-05:002010-10-17T09:43:37.271-05:00Lovely post.
