You’re Not the Only Mom With a Wayward Child
I haven’t heard from my prodigal for several months. She never calls to check on me, and I don’t have her phone number because she changes phone numbers often. I guess she has no compassion or love for me.
But today, I want to encourage you. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I recall thinking I was the only mom who had a daughter who turned her back on her mom, but I didn’t have to go far to find more moms and dads with wayward children.

The thought of sending my neighbor an upside-down chicken bothered me to the degree that I made another request. “Lord, if this chicken is upside-down, will You please turn it over?”
