The Promise

Genesis 15:5-6
Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”
6 And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

Hebrews 11:8, 12
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place
which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not
knowing where he was to go.
Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born
descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the
innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

Niamh's watercolour glue resist of Abraham looking at the stars as God tells him his descendants will number the stars in the sky. Jesus is one of Abrahams descendants, isn't that an incredible thing to ponder upon, God being a descendant of man, yet fully God.


Jude has been moved up to the next class in swimming(the yellow caps) and is so excited to be in the bigger class, some of the boys in the class are three years older than him. I took the small video yesterday, they were practising backstroke. Jude is the second one in from the right, he can swim the whole length backstroke now without stopping.
