SF - Is My Father Alive?

Is My Father Alive? After Yoseph revealed himself to his brothers, he asked them, "Is my father still alive?" Yet, during the previous discussions with his brothers they emphasized that Yaacov was alive. If so, why did Yoseph ask about his father's status? Yoseph's startling revelation shook the brothers to their very core. Yoseph realized that his brothers would fear that Yoseph would retaliate for selling him as a slave. Therefore, he reassured them by expressing to them that his only concern was the welfare of his father, and that he had no interest in harming his brothers. Lesson: With a few wise and sensitive words Yoseph stitched together the broken pieces of his family -- rallying everyone around their beloved father, Yaacov Avinu. Visualization: Imagine the shock of Yoseph"s brothers when Yoseph said to them, "I am Yoseph your brother." Sense their unease that Yoseph had the power to "settle the score." Imagine their relief when Yoseph asks, "Is my father alive?" Be inspired by Yoseph to use your words to bring comfort, healing, joy, and peace to others.
