Abraham and Sarah have a baby

God promised his friend Abraham that he would have his own family, but Abraham was really old. And how could his wife Sarah have a baby? She looked like a grandma. Abraham looked like a grandpa.  Abraham was 100 years old.  When our bodies are 100 years old they stop making babies. But God made a promise, and if God said it, He would do it. God and Abraham were friends.  Abraham knew God was telling the truth.  He believed God even though his body was old and Sarah's body was old.  His heart and God's heart agreed because they were friends.  Here is the story.  Sarah and Abraham lived in a tent.  One day while Sarah was in the tent, Abraham saw three men coming down the road.  It looked like three men, but Abraham knew that it was God.  God was coming to visit him.  He bowed down to the ground and asked the men to stay and wash their feet, and rest under the tree.  Abraham wanted to give them some food.  That's a good way to be friends, isn't it?  We like to share our food. While the men ate, one of them asked Abraham where Sarah was. Abraham said she was here, in the tent.  Then the man, who was really God in disguise, said that Sarah was going to be a mommy.  When Sarah heard that, she laughed inside the tent.  How could she be a mommy when she was old?  Then the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh?  Is anything too hard for God?"  No, that's not too hard.  God can do anything. He can make a baby grow in an old grandma. Sarah was embarrassed, and she tried to lie - she said "I did not laugh."  But God said, "Yes, you did!"  God was going to make them have a baby whether she laughed about it or not.  Abraham and Sarah believed what God said and God counted them as his best friends forever.  The next year, Sarah had a baby.  She named her baby Isaac, which means laughter.  Now Abraham had a family, and his child would be a father someday and have more children, and those children would grow up and have children, until there would be so many in Abraham's family you couldn't count them all.
