As a powerful Egyptian ruler, Joseph welcomes his family back into relationship and care saying, "Even though you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good."  Though many people interpret this to mean that terror or trauma experienced by people or creation is a part of a Divine plan.  But God's dream for humanity is not terror but love and connection.  It is dreamers like Joseph who connect us to the dream of God and who can inspire us to continue to pursue God's dream.
