Haiku of welcome
and celebration
He welcomes sinners,
this fellow, and
eats with them.
He must be a fraud.
As was Jesus' wont,
he told them all a
story;
driving home his
point.
Of his hundred sheep
the shepherd finds
one missing,
goes to search for
it.
A second story:
a woman loses a
coin,
searches high and
low.
When the lost are
found
there is a great
rejoicing;
also in heaven.
The small and the
lost,
these, too, are
valued by God;
and much loved also.
