Martha page 4 by ric gustafson
When Martha and her family went to Esther's wedding, she knew she would miss her friend terribly. She gave her a blue shawl as a wedding gift.
The next morning, Martha woke up early and prepared breakfast for the family. Then she ran to see Micah and Esther before they left for good. After they left, she spent her free time weaving woven cloth and rugs.
One day, her father and brother came back from the marketplace.
" Martha, first of all we sold all of your rugs". Her father smiled. " We also heard new news".
" What news is that?".
" There is a new prophet named John the Baptist" exclaimed her father. " He is baptizing people in the Jordan River".
Lazarus spoke up. " He wears a garment of camel's hair and eats locusts and wild honey".
Martha chuckled. " How can you survive eating that?".
" They say". Her father grinned. " He is preparing people for someone who is coming soon".
Martha shook her head. " We shall see".
