Sarah lives to the ripe age of 127. Her death signifies a new chapter in Abraham's life. For the first time, he is concerned about property - and the only property he is concerned to own is a place to lay his dear wife's body to rest. How touching to read the care and love in Abraham's life as he tends to this last item for his mate.
Speaking of a mate, Abraham's son, Isaac, is ready for a bride. Eliezer, the servant, goes in search of a spouse for Isaac. God leads him to just the right gal. The rest, as they say, is history. Isaac loves her. A new family is begun and the family we have seen reach a milestone at the death of its matriarch begins another generation.
Another late post as the internet issue is still unresolved at the office. God willing, tomorrow is installation day.

Good luck on the new install. I am really enjoying this Genesis series, by the way. It's a great refresher. Thanks for posting it.
