Hey, Ken.

Thanks for the”high five.” I am glad you liked the post. Yep, we are all prodigals.

All of us, prodigals… And what a picture of God. Thank you Jesus. Thank you, John.

Richard,

Yep. In my *update* I wanted to make it gender-inclusive. Galilean fathers did have daughters, too, even though the cultural dynamics were different. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. God bless!

I love the story and know it very well. Great to have daughters in it showing the same need for the Father.
Thanks.

I am glad you picked up on the ending “dance” image. I wholeheartedly agree with you. There will be a whole lot of exurberant dancing in glory! Why not begin now?

John, thank you for being “a copy-cat” in such an original, up-to-date way. Thank you for putting that “shameless move of self-promotion” over at Scot’s blog. Thank you most of all for adding “Dance with me” at the end. Isn’t that what our father wants most, to dance with each of his children, returned prodigal or uptight never-strayed, until the only thing either of them can remember is dancing with their love-filled father?

You have retold this ageless tale in a truly remarkable and eye-opening way.

Zman,
Ferrari?…did you say Ferrari? Can you believe the older daughter wanted a Rambler? Yikes. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Wow, the prodigal daughter really was a tormented soul! I mean, who in their right mind would pine for a silly ol’ Corvette when Daddy would be just as willing to buy her a Porsche!! Sheesh!

Seriously, nice job of updating this wonderful lesson, John…AND in putting the gender twist into it too.

Now, I wonder what would’ve possessed you to see the story that way. Hmmmm….
