"There was a man who had two sons" (Luke 15:11). In this parable, the two sons born to the same father represent two character traits. The older son apparently demonstrated loyalty, perseverance, and industry. The younger one was, no doubt, unwilling to work, unwilling to be accountable, and unwilling to take his share of responsibility. Both were from the same heritage. Both probably received identical love and commitment from the same father. One son was, it seemed, faithful; one was disrespectful. What caused the difference?

What other stories does this remind you of? Gen. 4:1-8, 25:25-34.

No matter how many children are born into a family and have the same parents....they have different personalities and characteristics! One can be as loving and obedient as can be while another one can be a louse and end up in jail or dead but, yet, be raised almost alike....makes you wonder how genes and DNA fit into the picture to build the human body with differences in the same blood line! Sometimes one is spoiled and given more attention than another because like the squeaky wheel gets the most oil, they insist on more love and attention! My sister was the baby of the family but I was in my last year of high school when she and Larry (twins) started first grade, so Cliff and I weren't there when they grew up, but Mom sure treated her sifferent than she did me....has something to do with the last child, I guess! May God keep on healing! Amen! Ma Betty
