THE HOME-FOLKS

 Genesis 45:16-28

Joseph looked after the home-folks. He did it thoughtfully and graciously. They must share the prosperity that had come to him. It’s one of the fine touches. It reveals his wholesome goodness. Prosperity is one of the acid tests of character. It is so often hard on the old home-ties. It loosens them. It’s bad when success dulls old home loyalty. The heart should be true to God and self and to one’s kin.
