2) while i was preparing my yw lesson last week, i spent quite a bit of time thinking about how mary “pondered” these things (i think it’s luke 2:20ish). and my first thought was of course she had to have written the events down because how else would she be able to really reflect on everything so clearly. surely should suffered from momma’s brain. but then i wondered if she would have even been taught to read & write, i’m not sure what the cultural norms for women back then were.
3) isn’t it so beautiful to know that one day you’ll have all of the answers to your questions about your sweet little amelia. i’m sure that in the moment that knowledge doesn’t help, but through your blog & fb i can see how many lives she touched beyond your family.
