It’s a familiar story, really, and we all wish we couldn’t tell someone our version of it. The parable of the prodigal son has made its way into our vocabulary and even into songs, because the emotional breadth it represents is so familiar to anyone who has lived with the blessing of family. The word prodigal has become interchangeable with what is actually a misunderstanding of the term, however. To be prodigal is not to be wayward, but wasteful. So, the “sin” that follows the young man home has less to do with his initial departure than with his spending his time foolishly. The effect on relationship becomes primary only when he returns. We are invited to know the ways in which we have wasted relationship or have squandered its resources, but more importantly to learn ways of reconciling relationships—with one another and with God. Bring your hurt as we look for healing; bring your questions as we look for truth. Blessings and peace, Lisa
