Joseph - God's Providence

We have not been able to make many Jesse tree crafts last week as the kids were lethargic and sick all week. They were mostly resting on the couch. We have however kept on with all the readings, in fact quite a lot of reading took place because they were feeling sick.

Joseph - God's Providence
A dreadful thing did happen to Joseph when he was sold by his brothers to slave traders in Egypt, but he could say:

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Genesis 50:20
Again, it was lovely to compare Joseph's life to that of our Lord's. He was sent from his fathers house, as was Jesus. He was sold for silver to the slave traders, and so was Jesus sold for silver pieces in his betrayal. He was punished(put in jail) for doing nothing wrong, as was Jesus who was crucified though He was innocent. What was done to Joseph was meant for evil by his brothers, but God meant it for good. Satan and many bad people put Jesus on the cross, and it was an evil act, but God used everything for the good. Jesus died to forgive the sins of the whole world!!!Eden's oil pastel of Joseph.
One of the toys that the children have got a lot of use out of - their building blocks. This was one of their creations.
