My apologies for not writing for a month now. Well kinda been busy with a lot of stuff.
I mentioned from the start that everybody likes to hear love stories and at the end of the story you will see that they lived happily ever after. How I wish that was the ending. I think I would not have done justice to Isaac and Rebekah if I haven't showed the failures and joy they went thru together. Again Isaac and Rebekah are just people, like every people they are not perfect.
1.) Problem giving birth Chap 25:21
Hey have you noticed Sarah, Rebekah & Rachel were all barren. This means that it is all a blessing from God. They acknowledge and asked God for help in their time of need and God blessed them with twins. Double blessing: Esau, the outdoor sportsman and Jacob the mama/homeboy.
2.) Lying to Abimelech Chap 26
I mentioned before about Isaac like his dad lying to Abimelech because of Rebekah. They were going through hard times financially and God blessed them a hundredfold 26:12
3.) Favoritism 25:28
Godly parents don't equate to godly children. Favoritism can breed jealousy and infighting among children. Isaac loved Esau, while Rebekah loved. Thats a bad formula for a family feud.
4.) Problems with children 26:35
Esau was a source of grief to his parents.
5.) Rebekah tricks Isaac
Can you believe this after being married for so long Rebekah still would stoop so low? 27:13 I mean you can get Rebekah's reasoning Esau was the bad apple but to trick her husband?
6.) Family feud
So the family feud begins 27:41. Brother vs. brother. Esau vs. Jacob. This must really broken their parents heart. When Jacob ran away, it doesn't mention in the Bible if he and his mom met again.
Lesson learned: It is one thing to find a partner, but it is another thing to make the marriage work. But through all these failures and joy they still stuck it thru together. A friend shared this song to me, it is titled "Walking her home". I hope you enjoy it. ...and they lived happily ever after. The End :)

The music and video of "Walking Her Home" is so super-duper touching, I cried and cried. Isn't that the wish of every married couple? Thank you for sharing the video. God Bless you as you look for someone to walk home with!
