VI.
With our reflections this week, we come to an end with this journey with Joseph. We have looked at several scenes from this life that we find in following Scriptures –
Genesis 37:2–11, 23–24a, 28

As we take time today with these Scripture passages, allow me to propose three questions.
- What captures your attention the most? It might be a word, or phrase, or image. Think back over these Scriptures and notice what holds your attention.
- Why do you think that draws you? Spend time with whatever is holding your attention. What is your sense about what might draw you there?
- So what? In other words, what difference does this make in your thinking and living?
Where is your journey with Joseph taking you?
