When his brothers got ready to leave Egypt, Joseph called the manager of his palace once again, and ordered, “Fill the men’s packs with as much food as they can carry, and put each man’s money just inside his pack. Then, put my silver goblet just inside the youngest one’s pack, along with his grain […]
As the famine ravaged the land, and their supply of grain dwindled down, Jacob feared that his family would starve. Therefore, he gathered his sons together and said, “Go back to Egypt and buy us a little more food.” “Abba,” Judah replied sadly, as he gently gazed at the old man, who seemed to grow […]
The burden Joseph’s brothers carried on their shoulders, when nine of them, and not ten, left Egypt was crushing. “How are we going to tell Abba that Simeon is now imprisoned in Egypt, and their governor wants to see Benjamin as well?” Reuben choked out, as he fought back the tears that flowed freely from […]

Stories for the Heart 
Cute! Very different. A little sad that the boy robbed his own mother.
Very sad – but thankfully, it’s only fiction.
Loved your story, Cheryl… 43 years… Hilarious!
Thank you Ted. It was definitely a silly story. God bless you!
Cheryl
Good story and humorous because it’s evidently not true. 🙂 Well written. Happy Easter.
Thanks Patricia. It would be a terrible story if it was true, but thankfully, there’s not a bit of truth to it. God bless you!
Cheryl
An interesting and original take on the story. Well done.
Thanks Alicia – God bless you!

Well, thankfully, this was so improbable, that it’s not something any of us need to worry about. What is really sad are some of the news headlines we hear at night… Those are the improbable stories that come true. Hopefully, mine never will.
Blessings,
Cheryl
I have to say “Haha” because I can’t take this seriously and get sadness out of it. Fun.
Happy Easter.

Thanks Matthew – God bless you!
I hope this is not a true story. Very realistically done.
No it’s highly improbable, and not at all true.
God bless you,
Cheryl
Good job on the story! Nicely done! Nan 🙂

Thank you Mike. God bless you!
