Rebekah the Fears of a Mother

-

We all have fears as a mother of what each one of our children are capable of doing to the other. Or we might fear who our child could possibly do in their life? The next thing we see with Rebekah is her telling Isaac that he didn't want Jacob to marry one of the locals and to send him off to the land were their ancestors were from to find  a wife. A lot of her decision was that she also feared for Jacobs life from his brother Esau. She also asks Isaac to send Jacob away to find a wife because she did not want him to marry one of the locals.
Rebekah wanted the best that she could provide to her children. Especially for Jacob after his brother became angry. No matter the age of seems as a parent we are always looking out for those we love. We as mothers of woman seem to have fears that can not be explained. Our hearts love so deeply that it breaks when our own children do not get along and go after each other. Some children feel the favoritism of another and jealousy consumes tbem. How as mothers can we help our children get through sibling rivalry? Is there anything that we can do so we don't fear what one child could possibly do to another child? Have we ever thought about the hurt that another might be having because of the things we give to another might be what they Have always asked for? Do we disregard another child's desires and place those desires to develop another instead of helping the other develop i n them their hearts desire? Do you ever fear like rebekah the things another child could possibly do to another? With 9 children i always hope that I am doing my best. I fear greatly many different things from each child. Rebekah we see that her fear takes her to sending Jacob away. Her heart is with that  child more than the other. Or do you think it could've been just the protection she wanted to give her son.
Mothers just want the best for each child! They have fears in each of their well being and want them to be able to see the best in themself. Just like our heavenly fAther wants us to  do!

  Vertical Study: Elder Eyre’s Footnotes on Divine Identity A Deep Dive into the Foundations of "Know Who You Really Are"                                          (image created by AI by Tina-Marie) Last week, we focused on Elder Brik V. Eyre’s liberating message: our worth comes from  vertical validation —seeking our identity from God—not horizontal validation from the world. This is the key to conquering the labels that limit us. To truly anchor this principle in our homes, we need to do what I call  Vertical Study : tracing Elder Eyre’s counsel down through the centuries to the ancient prophets and the Savior Himself. His footnotes provide the map. 1. The Divine Dialogue: "Thou Art My Son/Daughter" The central doctrine of Elder Eyre’s talk is encapsulated in the account of Moses, where God confirms his identity:  "Thou art my son."  The power of the talk c...

  Know Who You Really Are: Finding Strength in Your Divine Identity  on Elder Brik V. Eyre's October 2025 Talk (images Created by AI by Tina-Marie) The world is constantly trying to label us. We are labeled by our mistakes, our weaknesses, our jobs, our social status, or even our political views. When these labels become our identity, they limit our potential and invite discouragement into our homes. In his powerful October 2025 address,  "Know Who You Really Are,"  Elder Brik V. Eyre gave us a liberating truth:  Our true identity is found only by seeking validation vertically.  He taught that the foundation of all self-worth and purpose is rooted in the knowledge that we are beloved children of God. This divine identity is the most important truth we can teach our families. 1. The Adversary's Tactic: Horizontal Validation Elder Eyre pointed out that the adversary attempts to distract us from our divine heritage. He uses a tactic of  horizontal validat...
