Monday 12/13 - Elizabeth Has a Baby!

Today, we found out that Elizabeth did indeed have her baby!  Up until this point, Zechariah hadn't been able to talk at all.  The angel Gabriel caused him not to be able to talk because he hadn't believed Gabriel's original message that Elizabeth would have a baby.  When the family asked Elizabeth what the child's name would be, she said, "John."  They were surprised because that wasn't a name already in their family.  But Zechariah got a tablet and wrote, "He is to be called John."  As soon as he wrote that, he suddenly was able to speak again!  He learned a valuable lesson about trusting God.  With God, nothing is impossible!

Read this story in the Bible in:  Luke 1:57-66
Dinner conversation starter:  Why do you think it is important to obey (and trust) God?

Why do you think it's important to obey and trust God?  Let us know what you think!
