Daily Devotion: Always Say Goodbye by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: Genesis 37:7-14 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem."
- Genesis 37:14 KJV

Joseph left his home in good spirits. We can imagine his good-by as he set out. The family would see him off, expecting him to fare well and to return again in good time. Not one of them dreamed that it would be twenty years before they should see his face again! If they had imagined this, then their parting that morning would have been very tender.

We never know when we say farewell at our door to the friends we love, as they or we go out for a time, that we shall ever see them again. We should always say goodbye, even for the briefest parting, with thoughtfulness and with love's warmth, for we may never clasp hands with them any more.
