I will be quoting it as a benediction at Paoli Mennonite Fellowship during our meeting for worship Sunday morning. You are so right in asserting the amazing reversal that comes as we say, "Yes." May you also continue to find joy on the journey. Thank you for your thoughts and your prayer of blessing and benediction.

How and when did May find out that she was pregnant? When Elizabeth told her! Why did she stay with Elizabeth for 3 months? Was she afraid to go back home and face her family, Joseph and the community? Elizabeth must have been a great source of support, information and encouragement? Mary need this and God provided it! Praise God for how he took care of Mary and does take care of us! Why did God tell Mary about Elizabeth’s child? How and when did May find out that she was pregnant? When Elizabeth told her!
