This younger son made several miscalculations regarding the family fortune. First, without a family no amount of money would be enough. Second, strangers were much less likely to be helpful in an emergency than he expected. Third, emergencies always happen.
And fourth, the largest miscalculation of all: the real family treasure was the Father whom he rejected. How blessed he was that when he huffed and puffed and tore out of the house to find his future, his Father remained rooted. One day the Father would be there to welcome the wayward one home again.
So your Father in heaven waits for you.
