This question was answered in the Bible when Sarah was told in her old age she was to have a child. Sarah laughed.
Sarah did have a child when she was 90 years old and her husband was 100. The child was named Isaac, which means laughter.
Is anything to hard for God? No. The story of Sarah should give us hope and assurance when we are going through things in our lives that seem impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.

God blesses their faithfulness with many people coming to the booth to accept Jesus as their Savior.
As of today the Festival will be half over. There are still some 3 hour slots open. An opportunity for you to be part of winning souls to Jesus.
The added blessing is laying up treasure in Heaven!
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:20-21
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:23
God is faithful in His promises to His children. We can trust Him to do exactly what He says in His Word.
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 20-23
Planning is something most people do to make sure they stay on task.
GOD has plans for each of us too. In the Scriptures, Jeremiah speaks of thoughts the Lord has for us, plans of peace and prosperity.
But did you realize that Satan has plans for you as well? Satan is after your name and reputation. When you wake up every morning, he has already plotted how to come against you that day.
You have a choice. Whose plan are you going to follow? Call on the Lord for help and guidance in every day.
After the wise men’s visit, Joseph was warned in a dream to take Jesus and Mary and flee to Egypt.
Herod was seeking to kill Jesus and not getting a report back from the wise men he had all the young children in Bethlehem killed. But Jesus was safe and the little family stayed in Egypt until Herod was dead.
Then once again Joseph had a dream and returned but went to live in Nazareth where Jesus grew from childhood until He started His earthly ministry.
God’s Word is true. Every prophesy concerning Jesus birth was fulfilled down to the last detail. Many people leave Jesus in the manger as a baby but do not believe future events also predicted in the Bible. Jesus is the Messiah, He did die on the cross and He is coming again to rule and reign over all the world. Are you ready for a great future with Jesus the coming King?
Matthew 2:13-15 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11
It is such a joy to go shopping and hear songs of the season. Maybe not the hymns we love about baby Jesus, but happy uplifting songs that bring joy.
Jingle Bells, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas. These songs though not about the true meaning of Christmas gives a spring in our steps.
People seem happier at this time of year. More smiles and more tolerance of long lines in the grocery store or at the mall.
That is why I love the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
We must be careful not to get so caught up in the worldly activities that we forget the true meaning of the season. Jesus is the reason for the Season.
Many of us are blessed to have brothers or sisters. It is a special bond that can only be understood by those who have a brother or sister.
Maybe you do not have a sibling but have always desired to have that relationship.
You can fill your life with friends that are sometimes closer than physical siblings.
As Christians we are born into God’s family and that makes us brothers and sisters in Christ. That is also a special bond that we share with one another.
Today, pray and thank the Lord for your siblings and for your spiritual brothers and sisters.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 KJV
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Colossians 3:23
Can I ask God’s blessing on this? This is a great question to ask whatever we plan to do.
When we live our lives doing things we want or think we should, without thinking how will this effect our relationship with God, we are in danger of falling into sin.
If you have never trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that is the first thing you need to do to receive a blessing from God.
Once you have done that, then everything else we do should be done to honor and glorify God.
