Day 3- 3rd december (The Prodigal Son)
Day 3- 3rd december
The prodigal son.
I used to have a brother who had gone astray, but today, he has returned to the father house. I feel very happy today, even playing soccer cant add up to the amount of happiness i have in me.
A few months ago, my father shared with me the story of the prodigal son. That night, my brother just slammed his door, and fell out with all of us. My dad told me that we should just forgive him and let him be, cause nobody can change his mind except himself. He also told me that the day my brother changes is the day where the prodigal son story will happen in our family.
Just a few hours before during mass today, Fr simon was asking my brother to act as the prodigal son and also for the past few months which i attended daily masses, the prodigal son story was told at least 3 times.
Little did i know that my father's word would come true. It was so insignificant that i forgotten about it. It came back to me after my brother shared about his story and how he nows appreciate his family.
These words somehow came into my mind:
And it takes these few words for my tears to gush out of me and my brother's eyes. Never did i hugged my brother so tightly and closely before. Never did we cry on each other shoulders before. Never did i ever felt so proud of my brother. We just hugged each other and we didnt want to let each other go. We didnt say much to each other, only letting the power of God's love come through us in the form of a hug and our tears.
Somehow all the things that was foretold came through. Just want to thank the Lord for everything he has done. Just want to thank the Lord for my wonderful brother. For many times he didnt seemed to be of any importance in my life, but from now on, he holds a special place in my heart. A place where only me and him knows.
"It is important to be aware of any prejudices we may habour towards others and react to these people according to the wat they behave, not to their reputation."
I regretted not being a sister to him all these years, now if you ask me, he is as precious to me as
To my brother Moses, i love you!! :)
