Mary is back from her stay with her cousin Elizabeth.
It did her the world of good to get away from all the stares and nudges.
Everyone is convinced that we have pre-emped our wedding vows.
I notice the furtive looks,
and those who turn away.
I can hardly blame them,
after all, I jumped to the same conclusion, myself!
Mary, however, appears not to notice,
and she probably doesn't.
Mary, is a very special person,
as you have probably realised by now.
She genuinely sees the good in everyone.
To think I came so close to losing her,
because I dismissed what she said as fanciful nonsense!
I am so grateful for the dream I had,
it helped me to understand a bit of God's plans
and how we fit in to them.
Now Mary is here with me,
rather sooner than we imagined.
But we shall wait until after the baby is born,
before we get more intimate.
I want there to be no doubt,
that this baby IS the Son of God.
Already, my heart is filled with such love for him.
I will love and care for him, as if he was biologically mine.
Yes he will study scriptures,
but I will also teach him to be a skilled carpenter, too!
What have I learnt so far?
That sometimes God asks you to follow his plans,
and set aside your own.
When that happens,
you have to say yes,
because he is God.
