Tonight's family reading · Strand

The Prodigal Son Comes Home — a 5-minute devotion for Strand 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.

This works best in Strand as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Luke 15:11-32 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "a welcome that runs to meet you"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

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 Strand 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.
