Questions.
Do you have a prodigal? A son who left home and you don't know his whereabouts?
A daughter whose address you are certain, but she has left the values
and principles that you, as parents, taught her. Perhaps your prodigal
is your husband who abandoned you and your children. Maybe your prodigal
is father or mother who decided to drop off the planet, taking up a lifestyle
totally opposite he or she taught you as children.
