Its Christmas

Christmas is here again. We had an early service, started at 9am. Church was packed and this year we had the highest number of people attending our Christmas morning service, in a long time.

Bro Babu James shared the Word. He talked about the faith of Abraham and one of the things that caught my attentions Abraham's third wife. We usually hear about Sarah and Hagar buttery seldom hear about Keturah, mentioned in Genesis 25. Can you imagine even past 100 years old, Abraham was still able to have children. That only show's that nothing is impossible with God.

The question is was marrying Keturah the right thing to do knowing well that Isaac was the son of promise. And Keturah bore six children for Abraham, one of whom was Median, the father of Midianites. The nation was a constant  thorn in the flesh of Israel, just like the children of Ismael. 

The lesson here is even God's blessings can be used for our own selfish purposes and they become the works of the flesh. Hmmm... very interesting. 

After a long time, we took a church picture out at the lawn. Here it is.

After service we went to mom's house as usual for lunch. The rest of the day was uneventful. We have guest tomorrow for tea in the afternoon. Merry Christmas everyone.
