Grace for your spirit December 3, 2014

Grace for your spirit
But when he came to his senses, he said, "How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!"  Luke 15:17

The dictionary defines common sense as sound practical judgment that is independent of specialized training.  Many degrees in specialized areas will not insure that we have any common sense.  No matter what knowledge this runaway son possessed, or how much money he had, his most treasured asset had been instilled by his father; common sense.  Unfortunately, he had lost it when he ran from home and ended up broke in the pig pen. Common sense didn't come from his rowdy friends or from the pigs. His common sense returned at the same time the picture of his father returned.  Both of those led him home.  What is leading us?  Is it taking us home?
