Burning Bush Luminary
I love crafts but I hate those “nonsense crafts” we moms tend to chunk as soon as the kids get back from VBS or school. You all know the ones, the fluffy cotton ball sheep craft, the toilet paper roll Moses… yeah THOSE crafts. Why do crafts have to be disposable? If our kids are going to bother taking the time to make a craft shouldn’t it be something that can be useful or at least pretty when placed on a shelf. If we keep showing our children we do not value their time, I can just imagine that they will stop trying to do things to the best of their abilities. I mean, wouldn’t you? So I want to start trying to make a tad more meaningful crafts. Ones that have a purpose or at least ones that are worthy of hanging on a wall or setting on a mantle for a time. Which brings me to my next craft.
This week’s Torah Portion talks about the burning bush. This craft is simple enough for kiddos to craft but nice enough adults can appreciate! Of course, younger kids may need a little help but it is quick and easy and something you would be at least be happy to let them set in their rooms as a night light!!

Becky’s Thoughts
Joseph seemed to get a raw deal most of his life, but had it not been for his unfavorable circumstances, Israel would have perished in the drought…
If only we could accept the events in our life like Joseph did and make the most out of every situation. Instead most of us set around and grumble and complain about every little hardship. What if we decided to just yield to the Master’s hand an whatever He puts us through, simply know He is in control and the outcome will be profitable to the Master plan.“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. (Isaiah 55:8 )

Becky’s Thoughts (2014)
As I read this weeks parsha all I could think about is how much Joseph’s life story matched Yeshua’s (Jesus). So I did a little research and found this blog I wanted to share with you that outlined the comparison really well:
