Abraham


...in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. 

Romans 4:17


This verse is about Abraham and God calling him the father of many nations when he did not yet have any children. We have a famous song that goes, "Father Abraham had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham." There was a time in his life when Abraham would not have recognized himself in that song. 

What would you be surprised to hear in a song about you?

  5. LOL-- My song would probably be called Naughty Nana-Naughty Nana taught me how to sing the little ditty- Momma had a baby and its head popped off (while flipping the head off a dandelion). lol

    I might have taught that to a 6 year old grandboy who proceeded to pop off EVERY PART of "the baby"..as he popped the heads off dandelions. Let's hope he doesn't do that during recess at school today. lol xoDiana

  10. Hi Sandi, "What would you be surprised to hear in a song about you?" A great question. But I don't have a quick answer. Will have to give it some thought.

  13. Long response to your question, Sandi:

    First, it's a coincidence that both your post and my blog post talk about meaningful songs today. Thank you for your comment there. I have responded fully on my blog.

    Secondly, a song for me. It is a serious and meaningful one which pulls at one's heart strings. How about this one. I guess you never heard it before, or your readers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nebe1zuEtbc

    God bless you my friend.
