Passover “Why are we standing up to eat?” “Because God told us to.” “But why?” Their bags were packed, their animals herded into pens and ready to go. Blood from the sacrifice smeared their doors, and now they ate hurriedly, as if embarking on a journey before dawn. Outside the wind’s low wail turned to mourning and weeping. Suddenly the messenger was running through the streets. “Pharaoh said ‘Yes.’ Quick now. It’s time to go.” “Why do we have to leave?” “Because God says so. Because we’re free.” “And why are the Egyptians giving us their treasures?” “They’re glad we’re going.” Thank you God for your perfect timing.

Mourning in Egypt “Did you hear what he did?” “What?” “Killed a guy!” The news spread fast. The Egyptian Jew had murdered an Egyptian guard. “He’ll get us all killed.” “Nah, we’ll be okay. I heard he’d run away.” “Did you hear what he said? Aaron’s brother.” “He’s back?” “Yes—he says God spoke to him out of a bush. Says we’re going to go free.” “I’ll believe it when I see it.” “Did you hear?” “Hear what?” “Moses and Aaron, they went to the Pharaoh. They’re really gonna do it.” “God’s going to do it you mean. He’s heard us at last.” Thank you God for your care, and for listening to our complaints.
