Is Anything Too Hard or Amazing for God

Selections from Vayera in B’re-sheet/Genesis 18

Sitting at the entrance of the tent of meeting
Yah (God) appears by the trees
“By the trees” is the entrance to a meeting place
With Yah, if one dares continue such a journey as this

Three high beings standing near (appear)

My Lord, don’t pass by your servant
He touches the ground

Avraham can see something of their magnificence
He knows of whom they are, and speaks
As if speaking to God, while thinking:
How can I graciously welcome them
I know they’re not men and women
Nor do they bathe in water or eat what we eat
I’ll behave as if they are my human guests

Please, let a little water be brought to you
Bathe your feet
Recline under the tree

Do as you say, they reply
Avraham shows us how to host
Angels show us how to be guests

Sarah makes bread
The Goddess, nature is the Provider

I will return to you when life is due
Sarah laughs (You laughed. I didn’t. You did)
Is anything too hard or amazing for God Gen: 18.1-15

One informs Sarah she will become pregnant
She laughs, both because it’s so outrageous
At their ages, and because she’s so delighted
He catches her laughing. She denies it
Playing with him (So they’ll call the baby
Yitzak, Isaac, laughter, joy. Gen 21.3)

Is anything too hard or amazing for God!?
This a mantra passed on to us each from Sarah and Avraham
It’s also a question, a consideration and a meditation
