Jan 9 - Pnuts Birthday!

That's right my little girl turned 2 today! Thank you to everyone that came for the party it was a lot of fun....Kids everywhere:) Kind of like Abrahams descendants, more then the stars in the sky! God really puts Abraham to the test today. He tells him to take his only son and o to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him as a burnt offering. So Abraham does as God says and goes to the mountain God showed him, built an altar and arranged the wood on it then tied his son, Isaac and laid him on the altar. He picked up the knife to kill his son as a sacrifice and at the last second an angel of the Lord called to him from heaven. "Don't lay a hand on the boy! Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son." Because of his actions God says " I will multiply your descendants beyond number, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore." Can you imagine if God asked you to sacrifice your only child? Abraham being a strong man of God didn't even question it he got up the next morning and headed to perform the sacrifice. Now we are not asked to do anything so incredibly hard. How well to we measure up when God asks us to step up to the plate? Do we take the teachings of Jesus and put them into practice? Think about something you could do that would lift someones spirits. Maybe help at the dream center downtown or your local shelter, buy a homeless person lunch or a blanket. Heck help an old lady cross the street! I bet if you look around you'll see where you can help out and make a huge impact on someones life and believe it or not you'll feel better doing so:) Let's make the world a brighter place one small act of kindness at a time!
