Genesis 35:3- “Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Mother’s Day is over and Father’s Day is just around the corner. In between those two holidays, our family will celebrate a couple of birthdays.
In the verse I am sharing today, God talks with Jacob and he builds a memorial to that fact whereas nowadays we might give someone a special piece of jewelry or a plaque to commemorate holidays, birthdays, graduations, weddings, or accomplishments.
We keep track of all of these dates in a small book. My grandfather kept his in his Bible, which I inherited. The most notable was the date of his baptism.
Sundays are a special day in our household, when we are able to worship as a family. Not out of habit. Not as a ritual. But because we want to give God honor and first place in our lives.
If you haven’t been to church in a while, today is a good day to praise The Lord!
