[Gen 12: 2-3]And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

In Abraham and his descendents, we see all of family life... all of life. O Lord, we are very very grateful, for what you have done for us. We have a place, a sense of continuity and many, many blessings. Of course, their infertility holds a particular poignancy for us at this time, but their blessing brings hope, as to so many. Abraham's blessing is our blessing.
