Sarah was real old -
one-hundred-twenty-seven.
She died. Abe was sad.
Abe wanted to buy
A burial site he found
Ephron wouldn't sell.
Abe appealed for help
The Hittites interceded
So he paid in full.
Abe buried Sarah
In the Cave of Machpelah
And he mourned for her
*technical note, he actually mourned before he buried her.
But it worked better this way. Sorry
Isaac was ready
A nice wife was to be sought
A servant did go.
At the well he looked
He asked God to help him out
Which girl draws water?
Rivka filled her jug
And he knew this was the girl
For Ike to marry.
To meet Ike went she
Love at first sight...he took her
for his wife, with joy.
Abe married again
Keturah was his new wife.
And they had some sons.

I am thankful for the gift of Torah.

A special happy birthday today to my husband...I can say anything I want because he never reads my blog. I love him so much!!!!
ul for creativity. I'm thankful for Charlotte's Web. I'm thankful for Cinnabon. I'm thankful for re-usable grocery bags which make me disproportionately happy. (It seems silly to be so happy over something so small.) I'm thankful for the possibility of eating fruit all year round, fruit that should not be available to me!
