The first to help you up

"The first to help you up are the ones who know how it feels to fall down." - Anonymous

Sometimes I wonder about the Father character in the story of the Prodigal Son.

He responds to his angry, judgmental older son with patience, grace and dignity.

He welcomes his wayward younger son home with tremendous hospitality, forgiveness and love.

I wonder what sort of hard times he himself might have gone through to make him such a kind and grace-filled person.

Have your hard times made you kinder, sweeter, empathetic, and gracious?
