Not so prodigal......

We often hear the parable about the prodigal son, and how, he finally came to his senses and realised he would be better off with even working for his dad, than where he was.

But there is another side to this story too......

We also read that the father stood every day watching for his son......

I know a family....of whom the parents are forever helping their son.......He gets into trouble........ they help him out...time and again.....


This father in the parable, could have easily sent a servant to go and look for him, after a while...... I would not even be surprised if he sent some one, one of his servants, maybe.....to check on his son.....

and then the servant could have come and told him, the father, how the son was doing.....

he could then have sent a servant again to fetch the son home and help him out again......

but he did not......

That is also a lesson for us as parents to learn.......

If our children decide to “do their own thing” like the son in this parable,

we should let them....

I know....I know.....

it is not always the easiest thing to do..... it would be so very hard, for a parent to allow them to muddle through without jumping in to “help”

them out of the problems they got themselves into, in the first place.

This father was a rich man, it did not seem to be a problem to him to give the younger son his share....it did not send him broke......But......

The father was there......

waiting and watching.....

every day.....we read in the Bible......

but.......

he waited till the son came to his own conclusions that he needed to go home...no matter what!


Then.....the son knew dad was there.......but the son figured that out all by himself......not with prompting from his dad.....

So.....what I am getting at is this.....we are always there.......for our children.....

but it’s not always a good thing, to help them out of the trouble they get themselves into!

And this young man surely was.......getting into some really deep trouble.....going by what we read in the Bible.....

He surely was living it up.....like some young people today, still do too......and if mum and dad are always there, to get them back out of the soup they got themselves in,

How do you think they would take it if they knew they could NOT depend on mum and or dad, to help them out yet again?

It seems to me, it would be best, to let them figure it out for themselves and in so doing they will have learnt their lessons well!
