Beautiful Sarah
You may be my wife
But please tell Pharaoh you are my sister

Beautiful Sarah
I hate to lose you
But I fear for my life

Beautiful Sarah

I thought to myself on Sunday, “Sarah (Sarai) must have been a really beautiful woman!”

Pastor Cara was preaching and had made a timeline and it showed her age at different stages of her journey through the world with Abram.

The timeline shows her leaving Abram’s family at 65 and shortly into the couple’s journey we are told of a famine in the land.

Abram and Sarai take off and head into Egypt.

Genesis 12:11-13:
11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”

We see in verse 14 and 15 that the Egyptians found Sarai very beautiful and the Pharaoh takes her into his household.

I thought, “65, beautiful, wa, she must be really beautiful!”

Or maybe there were different standards for beauty as you can see in the picture of the engraving at the top of the post.

Or maybe the desert was a very lonely place, see cartoon:

Wake Up Little Sleeper

How appropriate, 5 months without a post and then this title!

I thought I’d share this alarm clock tone for those technically advanced like me, with phones that can play mp3s! I got mine this year! You got yours when? 5 years ago? Cool, join the technically advance club!

I heard this song, Sacred, by Caedmon’s Call (CC) and fell in love with the sweetness of it. A godly mother/wife. The part I am using for my ringtone is the bridge of Sacred, where Danielle Young sings to the tune of the hymn, Holy, Holy, Holy.

The lyrics go like this:

Wake up, little sleeper
The Lord, God Almighty
Made your Mama keeper
So rise and shine, rise and shine
Rise and shine cause

All those who are technologically advanced can add this to your technologically advanced mobile phone.

-edit-

If you think that it’s too quiet for an alarm. It was so loud on my technologically advanced phone that it woke me up on the first beat! HA! Although, that may be because I’m a lite-sleeper.

I also want to take this chance to dedicate the song to my dearest auntie Ros in Sydney! Go godly mummy!
