It is a beautiful day in my town. The weather is mild and can be considered warm given it is November.
The day started with Sunday School, as most of my Sundays do. The lesson was about when God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Being a parent I cannot even begin to comprehend the anguish Abraham must have gone through as he put all his faith and trust in God and made preparations to kill his son. I would like to think that if God spoke to me directly and asked me to do something I would have the same trust and faith as Abraham. But, would I or would I question first?
Regardless of what we may think or be afraid our reaction would be if given a monumental task, we still have faith and trust in the Lord to see us through and answer our prayers.
My family could still use some prayers, inlcuding my mother, husband, and sister-in-laws mother. And, I give thanks that my sister has recovered from pneumonia, quicker than anticipated.
How can I pray for you this week? I welcome your requests.
Amy you have many family members in need of prayer. I will be glad to pray for them and will. Blessings**

ReplyDeleteKaren, thank you. The prayers are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteMisslynda, I will continue to pray that you have a quick adjustment to meds and are back to your oldself no time.
I'll pray for your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your sister is doing better. Contracting pneumonia must have been quite an ordeal. Love your thoughts on Abraham and Isaac. Pretty sure I would have flunked that test if God has asked me to give up one of my kids. I'm all for loving God and loving others but giving up the ones dearest to me is not something I want to do.
