Aleela

Dad just got back from Vizag. It was a 4 day program with mission expo as well. On the last day of the program, they had just enacted the story of Aleela. A young educated mother, whose husband was in the deathbed in hospital. Doctors had given up hope and Aleela was broken, early morning, she took her young baby in her arms, and went to Ganges in Allahabad. She was upto her hip deep in the water. She cried and asked the gods for favor on her husband, and take her child instead. She let the baby go in the water. Crying and beating her chest, she was still in the waters, when a man called Varghese, spots her and asks what the matter was. She tells him. Varghese then proceeds to tell about Christ, and that He can save her husband from all illness. Hearing the truth, she asks, why didn't he tell this good news earlier?
