Goat Gone Astray

If you ever needed assurance that the lost can be found look no further than these two goats.
The dramatic and rather peculiar saga began when a farmer's goats went missing. Escape goats on a farm are not unusual but it was where this pair escaped to that baffled the farmer.
Suspended 150 feet up in the air on the side of a Pennsylvania turnpike interstate highway bridge, a patrol officer spotted two stranded goats. Their hooves were balancing on an 8 foot wide steel beam while a river rushed below. The daring pair of barnyard animals didn't appear to be all that alarmed by their circumstances. They appeared unaware of the deadly consequences of their highway adventure.
Imagine the farmer's alarm when he received the telephone call from the state police. They had found his lost goats and rescue team was already on the scene to deliver them to safety.
Two hours and one crane later, both little goats were successfully off of the bridge and back on the farm. The rescue made national news headlines. The ending was a happy one. The goats made it back home safe and sound.

Little goats need not fear that they are ever too lost to be found for our Heavenly Father sees every single child who has wandered far from home. Although we all have behaved like goats and gone astray, not one is outside of God's power to reach and rescue. He came to save us all.
God deployed His eternal Rescuer, His Son, Jesus Christ, to deliver every lost goat on His wings of infinite love and grace. Found at His Cross and redeemed with His new life lost goats are rescued and returned home safe and sound.
By the power of His amazing grace and mighty hand of deliverance, God's precious goats are saved everyday. Don't take my word for it, just look at the goats on the road.
