I want to pay tribute to wonderful people I have known, the wonderful country in which I live, the communities in which I have lived, the churches who have claimed me as their own, the God who sends shivers down my back when I really give him a portion of my time—well, maybe not shivers but tears flow easily in some of those most priceless times.

MARY’S SOLILOQUY (2 of 4)
I waited for tomorrow – a tomorrow that lasted 18 years! Jesus was a favored lad, a brilliant and talented man. Still he would do nothing about his special-Godness. He just responded to my urging by saying, “It’s not my time.” Finally when I spurred him on that day at Cana, he followed through! Turned water into wine! It was nothing short of a miracle! Oh, how I rejoiced, what pride I felt. I remembered how the angel said I was highly favored, giving birth to God’s son.—- But I also remembered Simeon’s words. He said “a sword will pierce your own soul.”

Indeed…Who better? Blessings for your beautiful post!
Dawn Marie, thank you. Can’t you imagine the heart of that mother? The heights of pleasure and the depth of concern. Oh, what chances he took. I’m sure she would have liked to walk into his room and sooth the tired forehead of her precious son grown up and standing against a host of enemies
I believe her bravery could only come from her complete Trust In God. Her instinctual motherly nature must have yearned to “take his place” and spare him of suffering. Only through her complete abandonment, her faith in God’s wisdom, could she have endured all that she witnessed. Could we ever hope to be half as brave?
She must have gone back in memories to reassure herself that the miracle that brought Jesus through her was real, that God did arrange the circumstances of his birth; therefore, she kept her faith in Him.
