Personal Application: In Genesis 28:18, Jacob turned the stone he used for a pillow into a sign of God being there with him, even in painful times. Find a way to do something similar in your life. It might be a picture put up in your workspace, a verse taped to the dash of your car, or a common TV tray used as a simple altar. Creatively remind yourself of God’s abiding presence and steadfast love.
Family Activity: Do you appreciate receiving a blessing? Blessings, whether they are words, gifts, or kind deeds uplift our spirits, renew our strength and sustain us along life’s journey. Scripture is filled with blessings from God. Read aloud the following passages: Genesis 2:2-3; Psalm 33:12; Ezekiel 34:26; and Matthew 5:3-11. Discuss the blessings found in each one. Create a family blessing basket. Write kind word or phrases on several small slips of colorful paper and place them in a basket. Younger children could draw pictures to place in the blessing basket. Whenever a family member is in need of a blessing, pull a slip of paper, read or show it to him or her, then share a hug or smile.
