Two from Galilee page 2 by ric gustafson
Mary held the jug to her head. She slowly climbed the hill. Walking with her was her cousin Deborah. Deborah was talking about her betrothed. His name was Aaron.
" Aaron brought me a cashmere shawl from Magdala". She smiled. " He also ordered a chest for me".
" Who's making it?".
" Joseph of course".
Mary grinned at her cousin. " Let's go over to his shop while he is making it".
" Did you know he is already 21?".
" I know". Mary's voice hesitated. " I wonder why he's been waiting this long?".
" I know why?".
Mary's eyes got big. " Why?".
" You want him and he wants you".
" Yes, I do".
" I do envy you".
" Why?".
" Joseph is the most attractive youth in Nazareth".
