Day 6: Isaac

Day 6: We read about Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son of promise to God tonight. We know Abraham had been promised descendents from Isaac and had faith that God could raise him from the dead. This aided his willingness to lay him in sacrifice before the Lord. Just for fun Dad used a secret decoder pin to make a cryptic message for the countdown box:  I-S-A-A-C.

In our box was the paper ornament, felt ornament, a clay ram, a large chocolate lamb that we broke and shared to represent his sacrifice, and a few Legos to finish the mystery vehicle they are building.

A friend of ours had the good idea to throw a Jesse Tree ornament party a few years ago. Each person brought 25 of the same ornament and distributed them at the party so everyone would leave with an entire set. We use some of them from this party and this was one of my favorites.
