A Family Changes Its Shape

Hagar and Ishmael Sent Away

God fulfills the promise to Abraham and Sarah, and the family could not be happier. They all thought everything was going to work out!

However, Sarah sees something that makes her anxieties resurface and she starts to feel threatened.

She thought this blessing of God was the answer to all her problems. What was missing? What did Sarah fail to see?

We see, once again, lots of pain that arises from our fears and anxieties. Yet we see God is faithful and with those that are suffering. God always has a plan.

We hope you enjoy this story and reflect on it.
