Vayishlach -- Finding Gratitude

Genesis Chapter 33, Verse 4

Please accept my welcoming gift that has been brought to you, for God has been kind to me, and I have all.” Jacob thus urged him to accept the gift, and Esau finally accepted it. קַח־נָ֤א אֶת־בִּרְכָתִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֻבָ֣את לָ֔ךְ כִּֽי־חַנַּ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְכִ֣י יֶשׁ־לִי־כֹ֑ל וַיִּפְצַר־בּ֖וֹ וַיִּקָּֽח:

After Thanksgiving, gratitude is on my mind. In this verse, I reflect on the relationship between Jacob and Esau. We can learn from their actions that gratitude can always lead to friendship. In a simple moment, we see the power of this soul trait.
