Nine: Joseph was being nice because he didn't kill his brothers, and sneaky because he used the interpreter guy. Apologies are good.
Twelve: Joseph was being very sneaky. He was very compassionate to his brothers by giving them grain and their money back. He's trying to get an apology. Apologies are good things even if you wish you didn't need them.
Forty-nine: I'm with my twelve year old. I like apologies but I wish they weren't needed. In this chapter, we begin to see the change in both Joseph and his brothers. I pray that as I age I become more like Joseph, more forgiving, more clever in getting to the heart of things, and more generous.
