Title: Getting on and Falling Out
1Getting on and Falling Out
- It happens in all families
2This is the Parable of the Prodigal Son a story
told by Jesus
3Dad I want to leave and find my fortune
Im bored with this life all I do is work every
day. I want to have fun!
So the father agreed to give his youngest son,
his half of the money
4On to fame and fortune
I hope hell be okay
And off he went to find fame, fortune and glory.
5Everyone likes me here this is great
He had a great time partying and being with new
friends
6I cant believe Ive had to take a job feeding
pigs!
But soon his money ran out and his new friends
left him
7I wonder how tasty this pig food is?
He had so little money that soon he was so hungry
he even thought
8Even the slaves on my fathers farm have a better
life than this. Maybe Ive done the wrong thing
So he sat and thought about his lifehis famehis
fortunehis glory
9I hope hell let me stay after what Ive done
So he set off for home deciding to be a slave
in his fathers house
10My son! My son! You have returned to me!
His father saw him coming along the road and ran
out to greet him
11His father dressed him in his best robes and they
had a huge feast
12I have worked all this time and youve never
thrown me a party!
Dont be cross let me explain
The older son refused to go into the feast he
was very cross until
13I had 2 sons and thought that 1 was lost
forever! All that I have is now yours but your
brother has returned to me and no matter what
arguments we have had in the past he is safe
and back with us. Our family is together again.
