The House of Hope - Mer Hooys Board would like to acknowledge a generous donation for our girls made by Chris and Mike Merlo in honor of Mer Hooys friend Denise Kaprielian.

The Merlos requested we acknowledge to the Mer Hooys family their "angel" Denise, who quickly and selflessly came to the rescue with life-saving action when Mike had a serious medical emergency while working out at their gym. Mike is now on the mend, and the Merlos wanted to do something for our girls to acknowledge Denise's selfless and quick action. Thanks to the Merlos, in October when our board president is in Armenia, she will be taking the girls on a special educational/cultural tour of the newly renovated Mother Cathedral and Mother See complex, the historical site of Zvartnotz, and a delicious lunch.

God bless you Denise, and wishing a healthy long life to Mike and Chris Merlo! Thank you for your generosity! 🥰❤️

Today's discussed Bible story was about Abraham and Isaac. The story of Abraham and Isaac teaches us to have strong faith and unconditional trust in God.

God orders Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. As Abraham begins to comply, having bound Isaac to an altar, he is stopped by the Angel of the Lord; a ram appears and is slaughtered in Isaac's stead, as God commends Abraham's pious obedience to offer his son as a human sacrifice.
By asking him to sacrifice Isaac, God was testing Abraham to see if he trusted Him. By his actions, Abraham showed that his love for Isaac was not greater than his love for the God who gave him his son in the first place.

We continue to study the interesting and instructive stories of the Bible 🤗. Today we talked about building the Tower of Babel.

According to Genesis, the Babylonians wanted to make a name for themselves by building a mighty city and a tower “with its top in the heavens.” God disrupted the work by so confusing the language of the workers that they could no longer understand one another.
The tower itself symbolize human attempts to reach God through human efforts, as opposed to relying on divine guidance and humility.
We should never become full of pride. We should never try to be equal to God.
