Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son
in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her
who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible
for God.
—Luke 1:36–37
Susan often thought back over her long life as she sat,
lonely and forgotten, in the nursing home, day after
tedious day. What point has there been in all of it? she
wondered. Her days had been fruitless, meaningless.
Her life had made no difference.
Then a letter came from a former pupil, thanking Susan
for all she had meant to him. Just a sheet of paper—but
a spark of life, direct from God, redeeming her barrenness,
setting her heart alight with meaning and significance.
Isaiah 7:10–14
Psalm 24
Luke 1:26–38
