A Neighbor in Bethlehem



They were neighbors of ours for a short time. The husband, Joseph, was a carpenter. His wife, Mary, had just had a baby a short time before. Such a sweet little boy He was! Rarely cried at all!
I remember them because there was quite a commotion one day. Three rather rich looking men with their people visited. I don't know much what was said 'cause Mary never told me much about who the men were. She just didn't seem to want to talk about them at all. In fact, they left shortly after that. Without telling anyone, too!
It was after they left when Herod's soldiers came and killed all our youngest boys. May God curse him! There was no need to do that at all! Those babies were no threat to him! At least one baby was saved from Herod. I'm glad that the family left when they did!
