Tonight's family reading · Piet Retief
The Prodigal Son Comes Home — a 5-minute devotion for Piet Retief families
Luke 15:11-32 · A welcome that runs to meet you
A son took his inheritance early, spent it all and ended up feeding pigs. He rehearsed an apology on the road home — but his father saw him far off, ran to him, and threw a feast before he could finish it.
Families in Piet Retief tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Luke 15:11-32 out loud while the plates are still down, ask the question once, and let the youngest answer first. It takes about five minutes and it does not need anyone to have prepared.
Memory verse
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.”Luke 15:20
Table question
Is there an apology you are rehearsing that you could just say tonight?
30-second prayer
Father, thank you that you run. Make this house a place people can come home to. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Piet Retief tomorrow, one person says the first half of "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: the older brother outside the party (Luke 15:25-32). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
