Big Thought Today: No Ordinary Devotion

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep & loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country & go after the lost sheep until he finds it?  & when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders & goes home. Then he calls his friends & neighbors together & says, Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.”  Luke 15:4-6
