I’m Thankful for Obedience

Mrs. Noah’s Diary

“And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.” Genesis 7:5 (NIV)

Dear Diary,

It has been a long journey over this past year. The constant rain for forty days stopped but left us in a floating zoo. The smells of all the animals took a long time to get used to, but I think no one really got used to it. I’m thankful it is all over. The major thing I learned is to trust God through the storms and that He will supply our needs.

The boys and their wives learned to have patience with each other and work as a team.

I am thankful that not just Noah was obedient to follow what God wanted him to do. But the entire family listened to God’s calling on our lives and obeyed him, no matter how strange it sounded at first.
