This morning we started the story of the boy Joseph. We acted out what the story from Genesis 37:1-36, which finds Joseph being the favorite son, getting a coat of many colors. He also starts to have dreams in which his family is bowing to him. He also rats out his brothers when they are being lazy. So when he goes to see how they are doing one day, they throw him in a well to let him die. But instead they end up selling him to some slave traders headed to Egypt.
This teaches us how to treatour siblings and something about anger as well. We should treat our siblings (whether natural born or spiritual) with love not hate. We shoudl talk wel of them to their face as well as when they aren't around. We shouldn't show off. And finally we shoudl look after each other not hurt each other.
When you weed, you have to be careful to get the weed's roots or else they will continue to come back. Anger is much the same, we have to get rid of anger out of our lives but if we don't then it just grows in it until it suddenly erupts above the ground. This anger ends up hurting others. But when we get rid of the actions but don't deal with the root, it will just come back again and again. Do you have some unresolved anger in your life? Now is the time to get rid of it and let God heal it from in you.
I give this morning: B
