Thankful Family Time
Celebrate the month of November with a daily time of Grace & Gratitude. This meaningful family devotion is a great way to take a few minutes to reflect on all we have to be thankful for. Each day offers a scripture, a gratitude question, and a fill-in-the-blank prayer. Contact Ms. Holly children@dcfumc.church to email or print a copy for you.

Bible Verse: "The Lord was with Joseph." Genesis 39:2
Bible Lesson- Genesis 37:1-36 Joseph and His Brothers
Joseph was part of a large family. His father, Jacob, had twelve sons. Joseph was his favorite because Joseph was born in Jacob's old age to Jacob's favorite wife. Difficulty arose in the way Jacob expressed that favoritism publicly. Jacob gave Joseph a special coat-- a long, expensive robe with sleeves. As it became obvious Joseph was Jacob's favorite son and that he was different, Joseph's brothers began to resent him. Joseph's arrogant attitude and actions did not help the situation. When opportunity presented itself, Jospeh's brothers got rid of him. At first the plan was to kill Joseph, but one of the brothers, Rueben, convinces the others to throw him in a deep pit. Another brother, Judah, suggests selling Joseph into slavery. It is in this way that Joseph ends up in Egypt. Joseph's brothers, who have stolen his robe, use it to deceive their father Jacob into believing Joseph is dead. Joseph never receives a direct message from God. Rather, God acts behind the scenes. Later in his life, Joseph realizes God has been there all along, and when Joseph is reunited with his brothers, he tells them God has used him for a greater plan.
