Mary with no hope during pain and suffering

(Parents please read this all the way thru first before reading it to your children because it may be to scary.   My point in the series on "Mary"  is that Jesus promises "trouble",  Jesus can't lie.  So you will have trouble even kids.  the first story is about Mary in what she thinks is a really bad situation.  "Mary with some hope" takes a closer look at the context of Mary's trouble which gives her hope.  Then "Mary with Christ center hope" gives the perspective of trouble from a biblical christian view.)

    Mary opened her eyes and could barely make out what was happening.   Her head hurt real bad like she had hit it on something.  She couldn't quite think straight.   Not only was Mary mentally not focused but her body was all messed up as well.  Both of her arms were in excruciating pain and she cold not feel her legs.

 

There were other people there but Mary only got more scared because the people were screaming and in a panic.  Mother's were screaming looking for their children and both parents and children alike were all crying.
  As far as Mary could tell she was on a beach.  She could feel the sand underneath her body and hear the waves every now and then.  Plus she was all wet and freezing.


    Just then a man came by that seemed to look a little familiar.  Mary could hardly say a word cuz she was in so much pain.  But she could still see the man who was now kneeling next to her on the beach.  He said a few things that she did not understand and then put his hand firmly on her shoulder and then took out a knife.

   The man proceeded to cut her chest straight down the middle.  Mary screeched out loudly in pain and tried to get away from the man but he was to strong for her.  Plus she couldn't move her legs, her arms were broken and she was only 6 years old.

  When Mary wasn't  squirming very much the man continued to cut inside of Mary near her heart.  This caused Mary to be in even worse pain than before.  "What is this man doing to me?"  she thought to herself.   All the screaming around her, pain in her arms, not being able to move, someone cutting her open and so much pain she thought "How come all this bad is happening to me?  I hurt everywhere and some mean man is holding me down and cutting me open.  No wondering everyone is crying and screaming.  There is a bad man doing terrible things to everyone."  Mary started to think that this same man was the one who broke her arms and caused her legs to not move so that he could be even more mean to her.

   Every cut that the man made was more painful than the next.  Mary was in great pain, was angry and hated the man for doing all of this to her.  And even worse, Mary had lost all hope of ever making it out of this alive.


For hope go to post on Mary with some hope.

The story ends abruptly because in life when we are in the middle of any type of pain then we don't know, with absolute certainty, how it will end.

Did you ever seen a bird taking antidepressants?

Momma and baby wake up together.  Momma (bird of the air) says to baby (bird of the air) "God will provide breakfast."  Momma got up out of bed and read her Book and sang from the bottom of her heart.  After singing she left for a while and came back with breakfast.  Baby was well fed and happy.  So was momma.
Baby started to wonder "will God provide for the rest of the day?"  So baby asked mom.  And mom said "Yes God will provide for the rest of the day."  And sure enough there was enough food for the day.

Before they went to bed baby started to understand and asks, "Will God provide food for tomorrow?"  Mother smiled and said "Yes, God will provide food for tomorrow."

The next morning they both woke up together again and momma did her usual routine.  She read her Book and sang from the bottom of her heart.   Then left for a while and came back with food for her baby.  Baby started to think to himself, "God provided breakfast."  And God provided for the day. And God always will provide for tomorrow.  Well then, I don't have to worry about anything because God must be outside giving mom all the food she needs.  Then baby sang his first song from the bottom of his heart!

Baby, "Bird of the air" Singing for the first time!
