Today, the pastor talked about the prodigal son in terms of fractured families. And the difference between the older son and the younger son. The pastor also talked about this prodigal son last week. Out of both sermons, I realized that I have totally been the younger son in my family. I have felt resentment at my parents' taking care of my older sister in her times of need whereas I didn't feel as though I got the same "benefits" b/c I never "needed" it. Now, I realize that doesn't matter at all. Your children are your children. Just like God wants every last one of us, so do our parents.
At the end of the service, the pastor prayed for mother's and he also prayed for women going through infertility and that brought tears to my eyes b/c I don't recall ever attending a sermon where a pastor prayed for wanting mothers.
So, what about you? What did you learn today?
P.S. You don't have to have entered into a church today to participate. If you watched a sermon on tv or online, please share, also!
