Subject: elder and proidical brothers.

don't you know ....
.... that the Heavenly Father.....
... looks down that dusty road ..
....upon earth and sees ......the pain his children ...
......are causing...... his other children ......
..and he must get upset at them,,...
...but he also loves each of them ....
equally..... just as we love our.....

own flesh and blood children,,,
,they grow at different speeds .......
.and lets face it some.....
.. never ever do grow up....

but just remember this one thing,
,, there are no big ''i''s and little '''you'''s ...
...with the Lord, ''''we'' are '''all'' his children..
...and ''we'' are ''each'' loved '''equally''....
..'''rascal or retired ones.'''

why did you know>??? the heavenly father loves .,..
..each unique individual.
,he loves that ...... rotten 'sinful' one ....
.. just as much as he does ........his elder brother ....
..(who stays aand works for him .........all of his life),.....
..like some old gran........ that everyone should know by now.)

there was....... and there still is .......security in that...
....for the elder son,(me)....... but there is usually..
..... jealousy also,.,,,,, among the children......
and misunderstandings..........

the elder one .......jealous ,,
,,over the father ...
...wanting to celebrate...... because his
;;''rascal'' brother .......has finally ,,,
,,,changed his mind and his ways ......
.after he has squandered.... his life,.......and his whole dowery.....
.on foolishness
see the father already knew..... it was only stuff.
...nothingof value ,,,,escept his life,......and now it is like ..
...the lost lamb has been found, has returned from
.....the dead ......and is alive again .......to the father...
.. who is so happy.....

but can you not also see ....that at one time ,,,
,you and i were the prodical son .......
..who seen our own mistakes .....
..and come crying home to
abba.....Father ......

maybe our older brothers,.,,,,,, then ....... thought;" hah !!!!
He/she were not too hot either ,
,,,'' (remember how the pharasees said of jesus ,
'''nothing good ever come from there .,,,haH;.''....)

YOU SEE THESE CHILDREN WERE
already under fATHERS care....
.. of our heavenly Father
....and here is this snotty nose brat ,,,
,making a fool of himself.,,...
.and claiming to be our brother ....
...AND EVEN CLAIMING TO ....
HAVE KNOWN ABRAHAM>>>
>>(SURE HE DID "?)

now i can now .......i can HONESTLY see...
... the elder brother's point ..
.. but too soon ....
.we forget that ......

.......we were the rascal prodical .....
.that caused all kinds of junk.....
. in the lives of others......guess that is why ...
....we now get so upset .....at the sinful BROTHERS shannigans l.

.......our silly christian brothers ....
....who say they are our sisters and brothers....
.... and yet they act like they hate us,,,..
..,ones who accuse us.....
and...
.... try to make themselves look better ...
.....and it does not work.....
all they accomplish is proving to others.,,...
... that they have a whole lot of .....growing to do yet.......

.the elder has no patience ....
....with the younger, ..
.....and the younger has such new ideas ....
...maybe even modern ideas....
.... and try to make a....... tried and true thing into a fantasy...

..the thing TO remember is that you were there...

.....and you grew out of it ,,
, and each generation shall grow out of it.....

does this make any sense to any of you...?
