Please run now to meet her and say to her, "Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is is well with the child?" And she answered, "It is well." II Kings 4:26
Here is my nominee for woman of the year. Her life was an embodiment of faith, hope, and love. This no name woman from Shunem on the wrong side of the country was a hospitable soul, who provided food and lodging for God's prophet and wished for nothing in return. She was content. The prophet noticed that she had no son to provide for her future, and she was provided with a blessed son. One day her son died, and she rode to the prophet for an explanation and help. Her child was dead, her husband befuddled, but how was she? She answered "All is well." Instead of worry, she had faith. Instead of fear, she had hope. Instead of anger, she had love. Her positive outlook was rewarded, her son restored, and her life blessed. We can be her children when we walk with her faith today.
