pig pods

i was in the cafeteria today and actually realized what the prodigal son was feeling. he once had it all or had what he desired... threw it all away and now was in need. real need. he lost his wants. he gained real need. i often wondered how he could want what the pigs were eating. how or who in their right minds would long for the pods that belonged to a pig? i felt it a little today. saw all that food being thrown away. those kids had so much... more than they desired, good healthy food and it was being emptied into the can. all i could think was about how good it probably tasted and i just wanted a roll. so God, ya got my attention today. return to the Father's house. He has all you need.
