Father of us all
Was the promise given him
By Abraham’s faith
One hundred years old
Sarah ninety barren
Gave glory to God

I hope this inspires you to check
the scripture for yourself.
This is not supposed to replace
the Word of God; it’s only my
interpretation.

It’s given me an opportunity do get back into the word on a daily basis. I find it harder to be as poetic as you and some of the others. It’s difficult for me to change or augment the 1611 version’s translation. Having said that, I enjoy yours and the others poetification of the word very much.

A wonderful set of haiku Booguloo. I feel almost the same. I haven’t read the Bible for a long time, but now … during this Lent Haiku Journey … I have to. Reading the biblical phrases Terrie has given us make me happy and even restores my faith.
Blessed Be

I just found out my ex wife is 5 months pregnant. Normally that would be accepted as really good news, but she’s 55 years old. Looks like it’s been decided that she’s going full term.

Wow! What a challenge and what a risk. Good luck to her. I have a friend who successfully brought a healthy child to term at fifty. Not doing too well at 66 with a teenager in high school. Huge generation gap. Phew!

We divorced on a copacetic basis but I’m at arms length with this situation. I wish the best for her and her husband.

When I read the scripture, all I could think of was Sarah’s laughter! I am left wondering where laughter and faith cross!
“Father of us all” carries a wonderful surplus of meaning. Well done!

I can’t imagine the amount of faith or just resting in His word that it was going to happen.
