Mary

God is merciful. He took my husband, and let him sail away to war and into the arms of another, but He left me with a baby in my womb.

This time I waited six months before I let my people know. I was afraid they wouldn’t believe me and would laugh and remember how it had been before. But this time, I knew it would be different; this time God would smile and give one more miracle to His good servant Mary. When Philip returned to me I would greet him smiling with our baby in my arms.
