Shalom Nitsa, This is one of my favorite stories. I'm not sure what you don't understand and unfortunately I can't give you any deep hidden meaning to it (except maybe be kind and helpful to all cos you never know when you might be caring for one of God's angels :o) ). I pretty much take it at face value. There was a man of God, Elisha, Elijah's successor, who travelled thru the area often. A couple used to take him in when he was in town and the wife decided to make a permanent place for him to stay as he'd travel thru, a place where he could leave his things in safety. She was apparently much younger than her husband and would be left alone at his death, and in those days a widow without a son to help care for her could find herself in dire straits. Soooo, Elisha, wanting to thank her for her unwarranted hospitality, found out what she desired and needed most - a son. He was a prophet of God, his word was good - as she soon found out... I love the rest of the story too! Cheri |

Do you ever wonder why we get two or more questions, from brand new users, on the same exact passage in Scripture, only scant hours apart? :-) | ||||||
