There’s something about the word ‘never’ that always causes me to hesitate before using it. I think it’s because by definition never is considered to be improbable and not likely to be true or to happen so by saying the word; it’s like I’m tempting fate. I’m sure you’re familiar with the saying ‘never say never.’ In my past experiences, as soon as I’ve said, I’ll never do something it’s like a challenge to prove myself wrong. Then there’s the saying ‘it will never happen.’ Equally frustrating to hear when it’s something you very much want to happen.
For Tori and Ben, having children was always something they both wanted. When Ben learned about Tori’s legacy and the children of Remiel were always girls, he had to come to terms with the fact that he would never have a son.
But as ironic as God’s lessons often are, the word never, never applies to Him. Here’s an excerpt from book four showing us that very example.
Children from the Light, Chapter 10 “…“Both your daughter and your son appear to be in perfect health,” Dr. Matthews smiled.
“What did you just say?” Ben argued.
“I said both your daughter and your son appear to be in perfect health,” Dr. Matthews repeated.
“D-did you say, son?” Tori whispered, her eyes widening in surprise.
“I did!” Dr. Matthews exclaimed. “Congratulations! I’m printing off copies of the images now so you can take them with you to show your family and your friends. The printer is in the room next door. I’ll be right back.”
As Dr. Matthews left the room, Tori turned to Ben, whose eyes were equally as wide as hers. “We’re having a son, Ben,” she whispered.
“How is that possible?” he whispered back.
“Mystical powers, maybe?” Tori raised her eyebrows, questioningly.
“Heck if I know!” Ben replied. “The lineage of the Remiel has always been daughters. There’s never been a recorded birth of a boy before.”
“That we know of,” Tori pointed out.
“That we know of,” he repeated. “What does this mean?” he asked, searching her eyes.
“I don’t know,” she admitted. “I need to talk to Remy.”
Unseen by either of them, Remy stood silently in the corner of the room, equally shocked by what he had just heard. Looking upward towards heaven with troubled eyes, he quietly asked, “Father, what have You done?”….”
