Tarek, the story of Joseph and that particular verse is one of my favorites. I speaks to me when I think of some of my own sufferings, and it builds my trust that all will be well. I think when you've faced death, such as yourself, and myself as well, you have a better understanding of what's important. I live my life now, in how I treat people, with the knowledge that there is the possibility it is the last time I will see them or they me. It guides me when I'm irritated, or even angry. I want to love well. The photo of you and your daughter is precious. It reminds me of one of my favorite photos...that of my son dancing with my granddaughter at her wedding. These are the most important moments of our lives. Knowing this, we don't take them for granted.
What a beautiful memory of your granddaughter's wedding Linda. Yes, Joseph's story is relevant today. He was a pompous kind of guy, his brothers hated him, left him for dead...but God wasn't done with him and used it all for good. Thank you for sharing!
