Family

Joseph Took Care

"Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him."
Matthew 1:24

Reflection

Joseph raised a son who was not his by blood, and raised him well. Being a father is choosing to stay, every single day.

Prayer

Father, bless whoever takes care of me. Amen!

  1. What did Joseph do when the angel spoke?

  3. How do the people who care for you show love every day?
