My Jacob

2002: Lord, please give me a Jacob -- someone who loves me as much as Jacob loved Rachel.

2008: Thank you Lord for giving me a Jacob. :-)

-Rachel de Gijt-

A wonderful love story

Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was lovely in form, and beautiful. Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, "I'll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel."
Laban said, "It's better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me." So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
