    Gen 16 (Hagar flees after Sarah mistreats her)
    11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:
    “You are now pregnant
    and you will give birth to a son.
    You shall name him Ishmael,[a]
    for the Lord has heard of your misery.
    12
    He will be a wild donkey of a man;
    his hand will be against everyone
    and everyone’s hand against him,
    and he will live in hostility
    toward[b] all his brothers.”
    She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
    GENESIS 21 (Hagar and son evicted)
    14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.
    15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she[c] began to sob.
    17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. 18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
    19 Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.

    Today I sat with you Reading this with you and it brought tears to my eyes and my heart softened up the reason why I say this is because December 30 was when I lost my husband so I’ve been dealing with that for the last 12 years and still but it’s gotten better because God gave us something back my daughter was able to conceive at the age of 40 and I have a new grandson who turned Seven on December 23 so that also has brought a lot of happiness & Joy to US HERE, in my Heart he is a little Old man the way he speaks he tells me that he know my Husband & that he saw him. Which believe. So thank you for Sharing and reading this. 🥰👏🕯🙏

      Praise God for your divine testimony. God's timing is perfect. The timing of the birthday of this special child makes me think of John the Baptist birth several months before Jesus. John the Baptist was to open the hearts to prepare for Jesus. The birth of your grandbaby right before not just Christmas but the anniversary of loosing your husband is to also open your heart and fill it with the joy of the season in place of the sorrow of your loss. Thank you so much for sharing this encouraging testimony. I hope you have the opportunity to spend it with your grandbaby. Blessings...
