The Final Fixing of the Foolish Fugitive

Boy, talk about "F" words!!

Rev. W. O. Taylor, 91, was the oldest man attending the
Southern Baptist Convention a few years ago. At the annual
free breakfast for retirees, Brother Taylor rose and recited
his own alliterative version of the parable of the prodigal
son, which he entitled "The Final Fixing of the Foolish
Fugitive":

"Feeling footloose, fancy-free, and frisky, this
feather-brained fellow finagled his fond father into forking
over his fortune. Forthwith, he fled for foreign fields and
frittered his farthings feasting fabulously with
fair-weather friends. Finally, facing famine, and fleeced by
his fellows in folly, he found himself a feed flinger in a
filthy farmlot. He fain would have filled his frame with
foraged food from the fodder fragments.

"'Fooey! My father's flunkies fare far fancier,' the
frazzled fugitive fumed feverishly, frankly facing fact.

"Frustrated from failure and filled with forebodings, he
fled for his family.

"Falling at his father's feet, he floundered forlornly.
'Father, I have flunked and fruitlessly forfeited further
family favors. . .'

"But the faithful father, forestalling further flinching,
frantically flagged his flunkies to fetch forth the finest
fatling and fix a feast.

"But the fugitive's fault-finding frater, faithfully farming
his father's fields for free, frowned at this fickle
forgiveness of former falderal. His fury flashed, but
fussing was futile.

"His foresighted father figured, 'Such filial fidelity is
fine, but what forbids fervent festivities? The fugitive is
found! Unfurl the flags! With fanfare flaring, let fun,
frolic, and frivolity flow freely, former failures forgotten
and folly forsaken. Forgiveness forms a firm foundation for
future fortitude.'"

Good morning. It IS a good morning, right?? Bleah. I need coffee or something to hold my eyelids open.

I had so much fun at my granddaughter's party last night. She is so beautiful and precious. My other grand, who's 4 is the funniest thing ever. Unfortunately - she's going to be a lot like Grandma - a lot ditzy. :D God is SO good and I am SO blessed.

This is on my calendar today - Proverbs are short sentences drawn from long experiences. Hmmm, I wonder if I could ever make a short sentence...or if ANY of us could...;)

Love all of you! God bless your Friday. I am off to work.

:wave: Good morning, Gary! It must be pretty early where you are. May you have a blessed day filled with nice surprises and blessings from above! :hug:
Thanks! He has blessed me as I rose up this morning! I can't thank my Lord enough!

Last night in Isaiah 53:4, 5, the Holy Spirit made my transgressions real, through the crushing of our Lord Jesus! I ask that I keep that vision so that I stay appreciative to the Father for His sacrifice of Jesus!

Glory to God!

:amen: , Gary!

Makes me think of ''When I survey the wondrous cross''

1. When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died;
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.

3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
