Two from Galilee page 24 by ric gustafson
" Joseph oh Joseph". Mary tried to talk with clenched teeth. " I need to tell you something".
" Yes, my beloved".
" If I die in this". She looked at her husband. " You must know I did not sin".
" You won't die". He stroked her hair. " God would not allow it".
Now relaxed. Mary dosed off.
Joseph unloaded the donkey and fed it.
Mary woke up. Joseph brought her a ladle of soup.
" Sip a little of this". He fed her. " You will need your strength".
" Did you send for the midwife?".
" She will be here soon".
" If not". She gave Joseph a weak smile. " I have instructions for you".
" Ok".
" I will need swaddling clothes, hot water and a knife to cut the cord".
Joseph stared at Mary. " A knife?".
" Yes, it must be done".
" Ok".
