Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION

Remember when there use to be a “Lost & Found” window in the big downtown department stores?  It was a reminder that the hundreds of patrons inevitably left something behind.  Such windows have been replaced by the more generic “Customer Service.”

Local newspapers used to have a similar category in the classified ads.  Now there is the less specific “Notices” or even somewhat prurient “Personals.”

Some may consider the demise of the “Lost & Found” to be a subtle indication or direction that our culture has taken. Now when someone finds something, they consider it theirs.  They think of themselves as lucky, to have had some good fortune.

The Gospel parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin remind us that it is not necessarily the “finder” that is the fortunate one.  Jesus’ conclusion “there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents” (Luke 15:7) indicates that it is the one who is found that is really the most blest.  Have you been lost lately?  Who found you?
