Can We Spot A Lost Speep
She only comes on Sunday,
and she usually is quite late.
Is she baptized or inactive is the question for debate.
Few people try to know her and some wonder and stare.
No one tries to dig down deep to see who's really there.
In her purse is a funeral program that is ragged around the ears.
It's yellow and quite wrinkled and has been soaked with many tears.
She's looked at it quite often and knows the resurrection hope.
But she still mourns her daughter(or son),and sometimes she can't cope.
Many people wonder but no one ever made a call.
She's one of the lost sheep sitting there,right in your Kingdom Hall.
Someone abused her when she was just a child...
Her mother didn't believe her and said she was just wild.
Jehovah God has blessed her and now she has the
Truth.
But she still lives with all the scars of a stolen youth.
They say she's moody and she's mean,so no one bothers to call.
She's one of the lost sheep sitting there,right in the Kingdom Hall.
She comes to all the meetings,to the field and
mingles with the friends.
But once she goes back home again,the heartache soon begins.
She grew up in the Truth, has served Jehovah all her life.
All she ever wanted was to be a Christian wife.
Now she's past the bloom of youth.Her dreams have not come true.
She's tempted and frustrated and scared of what she might do.
You probably think she's strong and she doesn't need a call.
But she's one of the lost sheep sitting
there,right in your Kingdom Hall.
When searching from door to door and bringing more sheep in,
Don't forget all the sheep who are already in the pen.
All of these are true stories of people at the Hall.
Take some time and look closely and see who needs a call.
We always remember the sick,the single parents and the old,
But can we try to include still others in our fold?
Remember that Jehovah doesn't want anyone to fall.
And that there might be a lost sheep sitting in
YOUR Kingdom Hall.

Have you spotted a lost sheep?
Love "does not look for its own interests." It
follows the principle: "Let each one keep seeking,
not his own advantage, but that of the other person."
(1Co 10:24)
Here is where concern for the everlasting welfare
of others shows itself. This sincere concern for
others is one of the strongest motivating forces
in love as well as one of the most effective and
beneficial in its results.
The next time you see someone,and they seem to be
looking at you but didn't speak,remember this poem
of true experiences,maybe she just doesn't have it
all together that day and she was not being
rude, "just a lost sheep" trying to make it...
