Me: These days we don’t travel like that…
Prodigal: Maybe not….
This is from Anon
And yet these days of dreariness are sent us from above;
They do not come in anger, but in faithfulness and love;
They come to each us lessons which bright ones could not yield,
And to leave us blest and thankful when their purpose is fulfilled.
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; Hebrews 12:12 (KJV)

Prodigal: This chick is just footloose and fancy free.
Me: Good thing to be.
This is from Robert Lowry
Death cannot keep his prey, Jesus, my Savior!
He tore the bars away, Jesus, my Lord!
And up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes.
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign,
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Proverbs 15:23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! (KJV

Prodigal: Come on, gimme me some slack.
Me: Can’t we have a lot to do.
This is from E.B. Pusey
Cast all thy care on God. See that all thy cares be such as thou canst cast on God, and then hold none back. Never brood over thyself; never stop short in thyself; but cast they whole self, even this very care which distresseth thee, upon God. Be not anxious about little things, if thou wouldst learn to trust God with thine all. Act upon faith in little things; commit thy daily cares and anxieties to Him; and He will strengthen thy faith for any greater trials. Rather, give thy whole self into God’s hands, and so trust Him to take care of thee in all lesser things, as being His, for His own sake, whose thou art.
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. Proverbs 8:26 (KJV)

Prodigal: That’s all she wrote.
Me: Nothing more to do.
This is from Charles Swindoll
Acceptance is taking from God’s hand absolutely anything He chooses to give us, looking up into His face in love and trust–even in thanksgiving–and knowing that the confines of the hedge within which He has placed us are good, even perfect, however painful they may be, simply because He Himself has given them.
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalms 34:8 (KJV)

Prodigal: Interesting road.
Me: Reminds me of a saying. The road to heaven is not through anyone else’s yard.
This is from E.B. Pusey
We have need of patience with ourselves and with others; with those below, and those above us, and with our own equals; with those who love us and those who love us not; for the greatest things and for the least; against sudden inroads of trouble, and under our daily burdens; disappointments as to the weather, or the breaking of the heart; in the weariness of the body, or the wearing of the soul; in our own failure of duty, or others’ failure toward us; in every-day wants, or in the aching of sickness or the decay of age; in disappointment, bereavement, losses, injuries, reproaches; in heaviness of the heart; or its sickness amid delayed hopes. In all these things, from childhood’s little troubles to the martyr’s sufferings, patience is the grace of God, whereby we endure evil for the love of God.
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. John 19:32 (KJV)

Me: Amen!

Answers to prayers
Come in various ways,
Sometimes in minutes,
Sometimes in days.
And some take years
To fully unfold
The harvest of love
And blessings they hold.
Answers to prayers
Come in various forms,
Sometimes in sunlight,
Sometimes through storms.
Some blossom late
But each one will flower–
Have faith and wait!
