Jacob ran far away from home. When night came, he was all alone. He used a rock for a pillow and fell asleep.
He had an amazing dream. He saw a giant stairway going up to heaven, with angels going up and down!
God spoke from the top: “I am with you, Jacob. I will take care of you wherever you go.” Jacob woke up and said, “God is here!”
