the pondering heart . . . if I could ask her more . . .12/2/11

Dear Holy Friends,   This morning, I had some more questions for Mary!   In His Grip, Chandra     if I could ask her more How did you tell Joseph, what did you say? Were you confident he'd let you stay? In his eyes as you told the news, did you see belief or doubt of the truth? Did you find comfort in his embrace? or was there judgment in the set of his face? Did you ever ask God to pick another instead? On your long journey what words were said? When the time came and there was no room, how did you face it without filling with gloom? Did the star in the sky fill your heart with joy? Did you realized God's presence in your newborn little boy?   ~Chandra Lynn Smith, 12/2/11~
