Character Formation This week we are focusing on the virtue of self-sacrifice. This weeks
story focuses on Moses mother, Jochebed, and the difficult situation she was in. If she kept her
son, he would be found and killed by Egyptian officials. The only way to give him a chance to live
was to send him away. It was a bold, painful move, filled with uncertainties; yet she watched
him float away toward what she hoped to be safety. She continued to be an important provider
for Moses because the pharaohs daughter who found him needed someone to nurse him. Then
Moses grew up in the Egyptian pharaohs house. The relationships Moses built would play a critical
role later, when he would confront Pharaoh on behalf of God and the Israelites. Jochebeds
selfless sacrifice paved the way for Gods provision for His people. Talk about this question with
your family How can you send away someone or something God has given you; even when, it
is the right thing to do for the good of all?
