AND GOD BLESSED NOAH AND HIS SONS…” Genesis 9:1

On entering The Gabriel House via the front door into the forayer, over to the left in the children’s play room is a 4’x16’ mural of Noah and the Arch. The enclosed picture shows a section of the mural, which was painted over eighteen years ago by a friend, who is now on staff at Disney World in Orlando. The theme “renewal” has been woven through the vision and mission of The Gabriel House from the very beginning… going back to 1991. Obviously, the “renewal’ applies to the rehabilitation of children abandoned and experiencing a medical history. There have been many, many children renewed at The Gabriel House in over twenty years. Praise God!

It took Noah many, many years to build the arch. There was no Home Depot at that time.
It was an amazing amount of work… accomplished with amazing faith in God who asked Noah to, ‘do it!’ “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” Genesis 6:8. Noah was obedient to God! He built a huge ship nowhere near the ocean. “Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.” Genesis 6:9 Righteousness imputed to Noah from God was due to Noah’s faith in God. Today faith and righteousness are gifts from God through His Son …Jesus Christ! Seek and ask the Lord for faith, an increase in faith and be renewed! Keep looking up…you may see His rainbow!
