Your brother here was dead and has come to life.
He was lost and is found
Thus can we hope for the end of strife.
And our efforts crowned .
Another thought for lent
Fast for fear of illness and decay .
That tooth hurts , a muscle rent.
It seems to get worse every day.
But what was lost will eventually be found.
Whether in this life or the next .
We will no longer be aground.
Ultimately all is balances and checks.
But oh, it still hurts.
I suppose we get our just desserts.
……
Fast from fear of death
But illness and decay too
They always come first
…..
See Luke 15: 1-3 , 11-32
