A Different Concept
by Russell J Fee
Mary accepted the Angel Gabriel’s proclamation
that she had been chosen by God to bear His son.
Such a good girl she was — dutiful, reverent.
But what of all those girls before her? The
ones who said:
“No way! Not me!” or
“You’ve got to be kidding,” or
“Get out of here freak, I’m betrothed,” or
“Go see Ruth, she’ll do it.”
By the time Gabriel got to Mary,
he wasn’t asking anymore.
