Family Reunions
By Mark Flippo
Genesis 45
1-Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
2-And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3-And Joseph said unto his brethren, I [am] Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4-And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
29-And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
In true family form there was drama! Tears and asking forgiveness. I am sure they had a big dinner after their reunion. This sure sounds like it could have happened in our day. Everything was made right in time before the father died.
How many of you out there need to make things right with someone in your family before they pass on? You will regret not doing so now and getting it off of your mind. If you do not it will eat away at you the rest of your life. Free yourself and make an old wrong or new one right. Pray before you go and make sure that person is ready to receive your apology.
