This week BibleWorm reads Genesis 18:1-15 and Genesis 21:1-7 – texts that tell us of baby Isaac’s imminent, and then actual, arrival. When the three men come to Abraham and tell him that this baby will indeed be born to these two nonagenarians, Sarah famously laughs.
We wonder what is going through Sarah’s mind and heart at this moment, and what’s in there when she denies it, and again, when that moment of laughter becomes memorialized in the name of her beloved son. Sometimes the gravitas of trying to have a relationship with the Divine makes things a little serious. But this story made us wonder - what is the role of laughter and joyful surprise in our lives of faith?
