Mary living near Jesus~

Jesus said, "So, tell me Mary, how did you get this tutoring job?  By word of mouth?"  And Jesus looked at his mother as he spoke and watched her blush.
 
Mary Magdalene said, "Your simply astounding, Jesus!"
 
Jesus smiled at his mother, knowing that she was always the matchmaker at heart. She just didn’t want him to be lonely. He so loved her and his smiled conveyed his affections for her.
 
Mother Mary offered, "It just so happened that I was talking to the rabbi in town, recently.  And knowing that Mary was out of work, I asked him if there was a need for a scholarly tutor."
 
"He quickly responded, ‘Indeed. I have several exceptional students who are anxious to be studying advanced biblical studies in languages.  Do you have someone in mind, Mary?’"
 
"When I mentioned Mary, the rabbi’s eyes brigthened similarly to how yours do, Jesus, when I mention Mary."
 
"Oh, mother, my eyes always light up when angels are surrounding me, like two of them are now."
 
Mother Mary gazed into her son’s eyes and exclaimed, "I can never thank your father enough that I will eternally be beholidng the light of my life."
 
"Well, mother, the father and I will be equally grateful to have you as our eternal present."
 
Moather Mary was lost in rhapsody for a time. But then continued with her story.  "So, the rabbi asked when could Mary start tutoring.  If she could start in a week’s time, that would be great.  And he would speak to the parents of the students that were to be tutored, at once. And he also said that although it’s unorthodox for sons to be tutored by a women, times are changing and Mary is special, as her reputation for teaching has become well known in the town of Nazareth.
 
"So, that’s the scoop, Jesus."
 
Jesus said, And I supposed that you have also secured living quarters for Mary."
 
"Yes, Jesus.  It’s like your father planned this entire adventure. You know that the Lady Fletcher just died, who lived just a stone’s throw away from here.  Well, since she didn’t have any family left, just last year she willed her place to the synagogue. And the rabbi said that Mary could rent it, towards even eventually owning it, if she chooses to do do." She brightly smiled at her son.
 
Mote, you never ceized to amaze me. You have been one busy bee, huh?  As you say, my father’s will be done."
 
Both Marys echoed, "Amen!"
 
Mary Magdalene then said, "Well, I hate to eat and run. But I do have to do some cramming for a week for my new tutoring job.  Ah, it’s just so exciting to have a home so close to the most blessed people on eaerth."  She then hugged Mary and Jesus.
 
As she was leaving, Mother Mary said, "Hey, you can help us eat all the donated food, over the next week. And you’ll probably be so tired from preparing your lesson, you won’t want to prepare dinners. So, is it a deal?"
 
Mary Magdalene gave Mary another hug, saying, "It’s a deal that I just can’t past up.  Thank you so much."
 
After Mary left, mother Mary exclaimed to Jesus, "It’ll be jsut like old times, with Mary around, huh, son?" She said that with a certain gleam in her eyes.
 
"Mother, you know that I only have three years to prepare for my ministry. Do you expect me to court Mary, all of the time?"
 
"Son, as yo have told both Mary and I, you can’t help but love her. Your father gave her to you. She’s the perfect gift for you. And she could offer much help in your preparation for your ministry."
 
"Mother, again I have to say, praise be my father for creating the perfect mother from me."
 
<span style="font-size: medium”>"Ah, son, give me a hug."

This is such a very lovely & gentle story on a perfect love of Jesus towards women – his mother and Mary Magdelene. HIS love has no bounds or limit, HE does not judge but to guide – HE does not give fault but to forgive. HE does not commanding you but to teach … So is JESUS! HE IS LOVE! :O)

And thank you for your lovely notes at my previous entry. Everyday life is not easy and sometimes (or too many times) that we are being put on trial and being tested to the very core of our hearts & beliefs. Those who know not the LORD, could have their lives easily shattered by tempatations and past events. But when one knows how to manage and to understand the REASONS, it could be that you

succeed to lead your life as wise as possible with much love and understanding. But, we should NEVER FORGET that without the WISDOM that the LORD give us, we cannot move forward. So, I try hard to learn to earn that wisdom and to have it planted deep within the roots of my heart. With these gifts that HE gave me, I try my best to do that what is right … God Bless U, Bri! Take care! :O)
