The beautiful young woman stood at the skin-covered door of the tent. Pale pinks of velvet and mauve silks adorned her body and caressed her golden brown hair. Rich colors complimented her blushed cheeks and lips. She was pleasing to look on. The beauty of her hazel eyes reflected pools of silvery water as a tear overflowed and spilled over her smooth silky cheek. Bracelets and rings adorned her hands, arms and ankles.
Every woman envied her beauty. Every man knew she honored her devoted husband. She continually strived to please him. Little did anyone realize that longing and anguish in her heart as she silently prayed to God for a son. Hot tears again flowed and dripped from her cheekbones and melted into her garments. Knowing how desperately her husband yearned for an heir; she continually prayed and served her beloved.
How many times had this tall, handsome man held her in his arms and repeated the promise that God had given him - "You will have a son." How many times had frustrated thoughts ran through her mind. Maybe God doesn't mean that I bare my husband's son. Doubt and fear would fill her mind and then desperately, she would fall on her knees and bare her soul to her great Almighty God.
One day as the beautiful lady was preparing a meal for her husband and visitors, an angel of the Lord reassured her that a baby would come from her very own body and fulfill the promise that her husband had often repeated to her.
Years slowly passed. The beautiful young woman matured and faithfully she continued her duties and pleasures to her husband. Wisdom and strength continued to unfold in her character. But as the years rolled by, the vital stream of life disappeared.
Sarah sat under the shade of a tree mending a garment she reminisced over the years of joy and love she had shared with her husband. Suddenly a revitalized surge filled her body. She felt a blush of heat in her cheeks and a feeling of desire and anticipation filled her heart.
In the cool of the evening she prepared herself, as in younger years, bathing with sweet oils and spices. She requested her husband to eat the special fruits and his favorite meal she had so carefully and lovingly prepared. She bathed his feet and made him comfortable while he rested for a while.
Sarah took Abraham by the hand and led him beneath a small tree where she had placed a blanket of soft furs. Stars were beginning to appear in the wide bluish sky. Sweet smelling flowers fragranced their love bed. And just as in years past the life current of love flowed from both bodies as God planted the seed an Heir.
