Jacob takes the time to thoughtfully plan out special individual blessings for each of his sons. What an example of a Godly father! He has taken notice of each son, knowing their strengths and weaknesses. With each sons' character in mind, he pronounces a blessing in like kind. In this, Jacob's sons are assured of their father's love and wisdom.
Every parent should know their child this well. However, for that to happen we must spend time with them. This goes both ways. When children are home there must be intentional time spent with each one. When they are grown they must take time out of their busy schedules for their parents. It is a lifetime process. Parent/child relationships are some of the most important that we have in this life. Think about it. How good would our relationship be with our Heavenly Father if we didn't spend time with Him? He spends all the time in the world with us!
