The testing continues, Joseph plants a silver cup in the saddle of Benjamin's ride and sends his servant to retrieve them after they have left to go home. The 10 are brought back and Benjamin has to stand in prison until they can prove his innocence. What is truly striking is the change in Judah, the one who sold Joseph into slavery. He was willing to become a slave so that Benjamin could go free. The attitude is one of selflessness rather than selfishness to the highest degree. The importance of the birthright was interesting as well since now Benjamin appear to have be the chosen one with Joseph out of the picture. Their actions proved that they who were passed over for the birthright were accepting of that fact. They knew that they ran the risk of Benjamin becoming a slave for his perceived actions and that the birthright would be given among the ten, but they were beyond that. They truly were concerned for their brother and the effect on their father who was getting older and was miserable without him.
Great day at MK, got to see the lighting of the castle, Main Street Electrical Parade and Wishes from the train station (after we got there at 5 PM) - a lot of standing but well worth it. Going back to Epcot to see CP with GG and Irene.
Praise for today: Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Ps 66: 20
