the story of Sarai page 5

the story of Sarai page 5 by ric gustafson


Sarai noticed the tall round roof buildings of Harran. The caravan stopped and she hoped that they could rest there and wash up. Abram's father was getting sicker and sicker as they traveled on their dusty and long journey.
Abram was talking to the guards at the city gate as Sarai got down from her donkey. He walked back. " I have found rooms to spend the night and we can tend to Father's needs".
Later, Sarai and Lot's wife Melah were walking through the city's market. All of a sudden, they stopped in front of a stall.
Sarai stared in horror at the things on display including amulets and idols of Gods. " Melah, why did we stop here?".
" I need an amulet to keep the demons away" she said as her roving eye noticed a stone pendant that was strung with leather strings. She bought it and put it around her neck. " Sarai, would you like me to buy you one?".
" No!".
