Sarai

Today Gracie Buxton was our chapel leader. We spent time this week in my office and she looked around at all the things she might put into my star covered chapel box. Finally she decided on a small, very pink tiarra.

Sarai was a very ordinary woman, married to a very ordinary man. They had no children, and were not particularly well-off, all though Sarai was considered to be very beautiful. It was this ordinary couple that God called to leave the country of their father's and go to a land He would show them. It was this ordinary couple that listened to God and followed the call. It was not an easy journey, and there were many trials along the way. But Abaram and Sarai obeyed. And so it was that Sarai became Sarah, meaning princess, and she became the mother of nations.

What will our name become if we listen for God's call, and then follow it?
