00:00In the sunny land of Shunem lived a very kind woman.
00:03She loved helping people, especially a good man named Elisha who often passed through her town.
00:09She built a special room just for him, with a cozy bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp.
00:15Elisha was so thankful for her kindness.
00:17He wanted to do something special for her in return.
00:20He noticed she didn't have any children, and he prayed that she would have a son.
00:24And you know what?
00:25His prayer was answered.
00:27A wonderful baby boy was born, and he filled their home with so much joy and laughter.
00:32One bright morning, when the boy was a little older, he ran out to the fields to find his father.
00:38The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and everything was beautiful.
00:43Daddy, daddy!
00:44He called out, waving as he ran.
00:46But suddenly, he stopped.
00:49Oh, my head hurts, he cried, holding his head with his little hands.
00:53His father saw him and quickly sent him home to his mother.
00:57His mommy held him close, rocking him gently in her arms.
01:01She hoped he would feel better soon, but instead, he fell into a very, very deep sleep.
01:07He was so still, and he wouldn't wake up, no matter how much she called his name.
01:12His mother was very worried, but she didn't give up hope.
01:15She knew exactly who could help.
01:17She carefully laid her sleeping son on the bed in Elisha's special room.
01:22Then she said to her husband, I must go find Elisha right away.
01:26Don't worry, everything will be okay.
01:29She got on a donkey and told her servant, hurry, we must go as fast as we can to Mount
01:34Carmel where Elisha is.
01:36They traveled quickly, over dusty roads and up the big mountain.
01:40From far away, Elisha saw her coming.
01:43He sent his servant Gehazi to meet her.
01:46Go and ask her, is everything all right with you, your husband and your son?
01:50Gehazi ran to her and asked the questions.
01:53The woman simply said, everything is all right, because she had so much faith.
01:58She didn't stop until she reached Elisha.
02:01She fell at his feet, her heart full of worry.
02:04When Elisha understood what had happened, he immediately told Gehazi, take my staff and go.
02:10If you meet anyone, don't stop to talk.
02:13Go straight to the house and lay my staff on the boy's face, but the boy's mother wouldn't leave Elisha's
02:18side.
02:18I will not go back without you, she said, her voice filled with love for her son.
02:24So, Elisha went with her.
02:26When they arrived back at the house, Gehazi was there.
02:29He told them, I did what you said, but the boy is still sleeping.
02:33He has not woken up.
02:35Elisha went into the room alone and saw the little boy lying so still on the bed.
02:39He closed the door and prayed with all his heart.
02:42He asked for a great miracle.
02:44Then, Elisha lay down on the boy, putting his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and
02:51his hands on his hands.
02:52He stayed there, and slowly, the boy's body began to feel warm again.
02:57Elisha got up and walked around the room, praying and waiting.
03:00Then he went back and did the same thing one more time.
03:04Suddenly, the boy sneezed.
03:06One, two, three, four, five, six, seven times.
03:12And then, he opened his eyes.
03:14He was awake.
03:15Elisha called for the boy's mother.
03:17When she came in and saw her son sitting up, smiling, she was filled with more happiness than words can
03:23say.
03:23She bowed down to thank Elisha, her heart overflowing with gratitude.
03:28Then, she picked up her precious son and hugged him tighter than ever before.
03:33Her little boy was back, and everything was more than all right.
03:37It was a day of miracles and a day of incredible joy.
