As usual, I always arrive early for church. This Sunday I was delighted to see a little girl, her mom, and her grandpa on the playground. Mom was pushing the little girl on the swing. I just sat and watched them for some time, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say hello. As I walked toward them, Audrey, the little 23-month-old girl, ran toward me! She was so happy, I invited her to Sunday school to also play inside, but mom had to leave. I am sure they will be back!
We have been traveling with Abraham and Sarah as they journey to a new home. Sarah is 90 and Abraham is 100. These are hardly the ages you would expect to become parents. Sarah laughs as she did when she learned that she would be a mother; this time, her laughter was from joy as she learned she would be a mother. Sarah names her son “Isaac”, which means “laughter”. Through this story, we realize that God is faithful, and God keeps his promises. God wants us to be faithful and keep our promises.
Noah and I were busy in Children’s church as we painted artwork to take home to Mom. After church, Noah was checking out the playground before going home. Grandma Liz was very patiently waiting!
We will continue our journey with Abraham this week; will you join us?
Blessings
