Genesis 46;2, “ And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.” Genesis 46 describes how Jacob gathers his family to the them to Egypt. Not all family gatherings end with everyone moving to a new place. Some families gather to maintain a strong connection, some get together to accomplish a task and others only get together for weddings or funerals. Depending on the family getting together can be fun, stressful, frustrating, exhilarating and sometimes all of these at the same time. There is no right or wrong way for a family to gather although it is important that the newer generations know who they came from and who their family is even if no one is making a major move.
