Genesis 21

Women really are mean, spiteful creatures. Instead of rejoicing in the birth of her child Sarah is thinking about her jealousy of her servant Hagar. Imagine giving birth when you are as old as Sarah, a child given to you by God no less. Yet all she can think about is the possibility that her son won't get his inheritance.

Where was her faith? God did as he had promised, why couldn't she bask in the joy of her child? Don't we behave the same way? God makes us many promises yet we look at what we don't have. We don't take the time to enjoy our blessings.

Take the time, enjoy what you have. This is the best advice anyone any give. God gives us gifts everyday we just need to open our eyes and see them.
