Good morning to you! This morning I’m sharing a “mini devotional”, as I am busy this week with food and family preparations going on for Thanksgiving Day. (By the way, I wish you and your family a “Happy Thanksgiving”. I hope you can enjoy some time with your family.) The other day, this Bible verse from the New Testament caught my attention… And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, – Acts 7:9 KJV I felt like there was just a heart-warming assurance in that little statement… “but God was with him.” God had not forgotten Joseph.
