family drama

Good morning brothers and sisters,
Jacob is now married to both Leah and Rachel, but he prefers Rachel. God sees that preference and blesses Leah with kids. There's a fascinating and sad rivalry between Rachel and Leah for Jacob's attention.Difficulty having children continues to be an important theme in the story of our faith ancestors. Sarah, Rebekah and Rachel all have trouble conceiving children. These sons eventually become the 12 tribes of Israel.

Blessings on your day,
Sam

Genesis 29:31-35

31When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32Leah conceived and bore a son, and she named him Reuben; for she said, “Because the Lord has looked on my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.” 33She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also”; and she named him Simeon. 34Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, “Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons”; therefore he was named Levi. 35She conceived again and bore a son, and said, “This time I will praise the Lord”; therefore she named him Judah; then she ceased bearing.
