When Jesus lived in Galilee

They followed where he went.

He taught through stories true to life;

Though many caused dissent.

This Rabbi, unlike all the rest,

He noticed household chores.

He used such work to teach God’s love;

He spoke of sweeping floors.

“A woman had ten coins she prized;

But lost one; Who knows where?!

She lit a lamp; she swept the house;

She panicked in despair.”

“Imagine this”, then Jesus said,

“Imagine her delight,

On finding it, she calls her friends;

We’ll party here tonight.”

This story told so long ago

Can still give hope today.

In love, we too can gently search

For those who lose their way.
