The greatest joy in Sarah’s life was surely the long anticipated birth of Isaac. Her amazement with the pregnancy surely turned into month and then years of laughter because of this son. I wonder if she gave God praise with the convulsions of morning sickness? How does a 90 year-old woman deal with labor pains? For 37 years she was allowed to encourage her son to grow into the man that God wanted him to be. Even though she never saw her grandsons there is no doubt in my mind that God’s gift of Isaac was a tremendous source of joy and laughter for the last years of Sarah’s life on this earth.
It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.
