chapter 14 talks about how Lot was taken captive and when Abram goes to get him he refuses riches from the king so he could say that all he had came only from the Lord. cool story.
chapter 15 mentions how God had Abram kill some animals before the Lord. i think in this day and age we see animals as food and that's about it, so for us to sacrifice an animal is nothing, but for them, cutting them in half and not letting anything happen to them would be tantamount to him laying out blank amount of dollars and not spending it. which would be very hard for us to do, so i think when we hear sacrificing animlas, we should remember that they were giving up far more than a snack. they got food, clothing, tools, and goodness knows what else from these animals. no matter how rich you are, it's always hard to literally throw away money. but that's where the sacrifice part comes in. i think it's important to remember those sacrifices as monetary offerings that were costly, not just random animals.
other than all that, skyler has been in a better mood today! she started clapping today too, so so so exciting! she almost pulled all the way up, she got on her knees and tried so hard to get further, but she just couldn't :) we had a really good day . . . mostly, she laughed a lot and we played and had a wonderful time! if only she would have slept a little more!! oh well, tomorrow we hang out with Nonni! yeah!!
