"Who did the Father's will?"

Today's Gospel reading really struck me and i felt it was so pertinent to the work we are doing everyday. As it goes, a man sends out two sons to do something for him. The first says he will do it, but never does. The second refuses to do it but then has a change of heart and does it after all.
In the first category I can put myself so many times. Also many other Christians who profess to follow Christ and make so many lavish promises of fidelity, but never actually do anything that he is asking.

In the second scenario I immediately thought of so many of our dear clients. How many came to us set on having an abortion, in essence on saying no to what God was asking of them in the gift of their child, only to have their heart changed and, no matter the difficulties, fulfill his will in the end? These are the ones that did the Father's will, no matter how we might be tempted to judge them.

What do we do when he asks us to perform our often much less difficult tasks?
