The Prodigal

Which one are you?


Yesterday I was having a conversation with someone who ask me which one are you?  Do you recall the story of the prodigal?  The son runs away and squanders all his money.  There are three major players in this story:  The father, the son, and the older brother.  The father lets his son go and welcomes him back, the younger son runs away and goes through all his money and then returns home, and the older brother stays home doing the right thing but judging his younger brother the entire time.

In different situations in life you can be anyone one of the three depicted in this parable so which one are you?  And what should you do?  What is the right thing to do?
