Nothing to Laugh About

"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Genesis 18:14)
 
Genesis 18:14 is the Lord's respnse to Sarah's laughter. Sarah laughs when she overhears the Lord tell Abraham that she will have a baby boy in a year's time. She laughs because never before has she been able to become pregnant. She laughs because she is ninety ears old. She laughs because she is a worn-out woman who long ago gave up the dream of a baby of her own. She laughs because she has lived for years with the indignity and shame of being childless. She laughs because she is all out of tears...
 
What about you? What dream are you laughing at?
