Endless Flask

As Yaakov prepared to do battle with Eisav, the Torah tells us that he crossed over the river at night alone. Our sages tell us that he had gone back after transferring his family in order to retrieved some small flasks (פכים) that he had left behind. Our tradition tells us that there is a connection between these flasks and the flask (פך) that was found in the Bais HaMikdosh containing oil by the Chanukah story.
What is the connection?
The Sages tell us that Yaakov had gone back to get the flasks even though he was putting himself in danger. Why, then, did he go back? Because he viewed even these small, seemingly insignificant and inexpensive flasks, as a gift from God. To just leave them behind would show a lack of appreciation for what God had given him.
At Chanukah time the little bit of oil that they had went a long way. Does that ever seem to happen to you, that a little bit of money or food goes a lot farther than you expected? Perhaps the connection is that when we take proper care of that which God has given us, he will put a blessing in what we have and it will go much farther than we have a right to expect it to go under normal circumstances.
