\The serenely glowing face of the angel came back into focus once again, and when he spoke, it was in a gentle, soothing voice about things that were at least a little more ordinary.
"I have more good news for you!You relative, Elisheva, is carrying a son in her old age and this is the sixth month with her who was called infertile."
I gazed at him in awe, open mouthed, but speechless.
Elisheva?A tremble shook my body at these majestic words, and I think my face must have gone ashen. It was more than I could comprehend. Elisheva is my favorite aunt!
How wonderful! How very, very wonderful! Won't Imma be delighted when she finds out? She always felt so sorry for her eldest sister because she never knew the joys of motherhood.
The angel beamed; "With God all things are possible!"
I sank to my knees and with clasped hands replied in a hushed voice. "Behold the talitha of the Lord; be it unto me according to your word."
While I watched wonderingly the angel's feet arose from the ground, his magnificent wings spread out, and I saw him gradually lift up higher and higher until he flew out of my sight. After he was gone, an invisible, but very hallowed sense of Shekinah, His Presence, surrounded me. Never have I felt such profound love,such happiness and complete tranquility permeate my being as it did at that moment. It must have been a foretaste of the joys of Paradise. Although the sensation faded, I am sure that I AM touched me in a very profound and personal way.
I can not express what He has done for me. When the angel left I quietly whispered;Alleluia El ohim Yisreal.
