A Lost Boy Story

The Runaway
Norman Rockwell
September 20, 1958

The young boy was lost. He was new to town and didn't know his address or phone number. The policeman was trying to comfort him. He asked the boy, “Son, what school do you go to?” “Haven't started yet.” said the boy.

The policeman, feeling discouraged, asked him, “Son, how am I gonna help you find your way home?” The young boy said, all the sudden very excited! “Officer, I live behind the church with the big Cross in front!” The policeman knew exactly where it was! The boy said, “Take me to the Cross!! If you take me to the Cross I can find my way home!”

Maybe that would help us all to keep on the right track, headed for Home. We need to keep remembering the Cross, and all He gave, to lead us on the right path toward our forever Home. •
