The Heirloom

Something that was lost has been found.
Tears of joy stream down a smiling face.
A heart that was so heavy now leaps to the sky.
The grief of loss becomes the joy of possession.
For Tammy, it was a thing, precious to her heart.
For God, it’s me and you.

“And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’   “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
– Luke 15:9-10  NKJV
