The Great Story of Joseph

I'm reading through Genesis chapter 45 and am enjoying, really enjoying the story of Joseph and his brothers. Well, the first part's not great, what with the selling into slavery and prison time and all - but the last part is fantastic. Joseph is blessed by God and in turn blesses others. The family reunion unifies the clan and the story concludes with joy and restoration that is even enjoyed by outsiders who observe it.

Love it.

The finish line is the main focus of the race, isn't it? The labor and struggle during the contest are soon forgotten once the finish line is crossed. Peter's struggles with schoolwork and grading are now showing results as I took him to Bryan College and they showed him the scholarships he now can receive from his high ACT scores. It's victories like these that bring constant encouragement.

And also remind us of Who is in charge.
