Items related to Mary's Diary: The Life of Jesus Through His Mother's...
Mary was just one of the carefree young girls who went to the well at dawn to get water. I enjoyed watching her because she seemed unusually sweet and innocent- and sincere. No one knew what to think when she fled so suddenly to Elisabeth's place in Ain Karim. Rumor had it she had seen an angel, but I didn't put too much stock in that. After all, she was young and impressionable. But when she came back obviously pregnant, how the tongues did wag!
I watched her from a distance, all through the years. I heard about the remarkable flight to Egypt with her husband, Joseph, and was glad they chose to return to Nazareth after all was said and done. They had a cute boy; they named him Jesus. A person couldn't help loving him. I could tell she was really wrapped up in her children, especially that boy. I had to scratch my head a few times, though, when he started doing miracles-pretty uncanny, that.
But his preaching, well, that sure had a way of touching the heart. That same heart nearly broke when I saw her grief when her boy was crucified.
You'll read about it through Mary's eyes, through her words and her tears, in this, her diary.

About the Author:
This diary isn't about me, it's Mary's. Mary the Mother of Jesus who was once a young girl with a frightening future. But since she can't write her biography here, I guess I'll have to write mine. I've always loved and admired Mary, the Mother of Jesus. In my mind, she must have been the 'motherliest' mother of them all. I, too, have loved caring for children and we had nine of our own, babysat a lot, and are being blessed with the addition of grandchildren. We are Mennonites and I have enjoyed life together with my husband for over forty years. I have also written two children's books: Sara Jane, Country Girl and A Home at Last, they are both available from www.prairieviewpress.com/ There's more books on the way!
