The Annunciation
As I watch a woman finishing getting her water, I then grab my buckets and fill them up. I am walking home and sit on the stairs to take a rest. I touch my chest and say a prayer, “God give me strength to go home”. I turn around and suddenly I notice a bright light flashing in my eyes. An angel, “Hail mary full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb” he says. “Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favour with God and behold you shall conceive in your womb a son and you shall call his name Jesus.” I say “why is this granted to me that the mother of my lord should come to me”. Gabriel says , “God has chosen you and your cousin ELizabeth has beared a son to, she has had him in her womb for 6 months.” I feel tears going down my face, I am filled with joy. I can’t believe that the lord has chosen me to be the mother of my lord. I ask him “how is this possible?”. “Nothing is Impossible” he says to me. I go home with my buckets of water. I say a thank you prayer to God for giving me the opportunity to be my Lord’s mother, for giving me a chance to be a special lady.
