Daily Discipleship Guide for 21-JUN-2010

Henri Nouwen in his book, The Return of the Prodigal Son, suggests that we are each, at one time or another, like both of the sons in Jesus' famous parable in Luke 15:11-32

Can you think of a time when you were like the younger son?  Even if you did not go as far as he did, are there aspects of him to which you can relate?  What are they?

How about the older son? Can you relate to him at all? Have you ever felt like your 'goodness' has gone unnoticed?  You are under- appreciated?  Please write down your thoughts and feelings as they relate to the older son.
