The Story of Joseph and Mary.
Written on 4:57 PM by Adrian
Well many may heard of the wonderful story of Joseph and Mary.....
This is my version of the story,
Long ago live a man named Joseph, who is a carpenter, not a normal one but quite a famous and re-known carpenter, after all he was the descendant of the King David. Monthly salary was about 3 to 4k.
On the other side of the town there is a poly-clinic, where our Mary works in.... Mary was a nice, friendly and helpful girl. Everyone in town love her. Working as a clinic-assistance, paid around 1.8k on good days...
Both Joseph and Mary do not know each other at that time, but they always see each other on their way to work, which will pass by a farm named "Bethlehem - Home". Certainly both will notice each other as Joseph was a very fine looking man and Mary always carry a bright and cheerful smile whenever she goes.
One day, when they are on their way to work, they saw "Bethlehem - Home" caught fire! Without a second thought, Mary rush into the fire and try to carry the man(owner of the farm) out of fire. Joseph saw how brave was Mary, and was totally attracted to her, also went into the fire and helped Mary.
After this incident, both Joseph and Mary became friend, and ever-since the story begin.
Things happen like lighting, exchanges of SMS, going to work together, spending most of their time together, watching movies and shopping... and very soon both fall in love with one another. and decided to get married. So they went to seek advise from the wedding consultancy, and consultant Angel Gabriel (Not an Angel, but Angel was his name, and he baptism as Gabriel) came to attend to them.
Angel Gabriel told them about a policy plan called Jesus Christ. It was a good plan adopted by many of the couple who desire a proper and good marriage, because Jesus Christ will provide them with all their needs. but they need to fulfill their monthly premium. This is how Jesus Christ works each party will commit a certain amount to the plan, and at the end of the plan, all marriage expenses will be covered. However both parties will not know how much one another had contributed, till the end of the contract, unless due to contract requirement.
Joseph being the richer than Mary, he humbly decided to fork out/contribute 500dollars to the contract (Did not informed Mary). and on Mary side, she also came up with a certain amount....
This thing started of very well for the 1st 3months, both waiting for the 2years contract to come, knowing their wallet are tight, they went out for movie and shopping lesser and willing to stay at each other house and spend the day together. (which was sweet). As time goes by, Joseph start to realize that Mary have lesser time for him, always telling Joseph that she needs to do OT in the clinic and left Joseph alone at home...
Several months more later Joseph got even more upset due to the lesser commitment that Mary had provided him, he got so frustrated and refuse to contribute to the Jesus Plan. Even after a few warning letter, Joseph simply ignore the payment!
One day as usual, Joseph asked Mary for dinner and Mary wasn't able to make it.... and Joseph decided to find out what is she busy with in the clinic. After work, Joseph rush to the clinic that Mary working in, and saw her leaving her work place! Joseph was shocked! and he followed Mary at the back, wanting to know where is she heading, behold she found her heading to a restaurant meeting Angel Gabriel, and all the mind of Joseph was anger! He was completely out of his mind and felt that he had fallen in love with the wrong woman... Mary was a unfaithful woman! Adulteress! and all kind of things goes into Joseph heart and he left the restaurant with bitterness in his heart.
Ever since then, Joseph did not look for Mary anymore, and when Mary ask him out for dinner on weekend, he will tell her "I'm busy" and things start to go afar.
One day, Angel Gabriel called up Joseph and inform him about the Jesus Christ plan which Joseph and totally forgotten, and ask him to come down to discuss about the plan. Joseph did not scold Angel Gabriel for being the adulterer over the phone but he was waiting to see him face to face and give him a good punch.
When they met, Joseph throw himself and laid a few punches on Gabriel, before stopped by the security. Gabriel question Joseph and found out all the nonsense that Joseph had sum up about Mary, and throw at him the completion of the Jesus Christ plan.
Joseph was surprise because he remembered that he did not pay any amount after some month of the plan. so he asked Gabriel how was it possible? and Gabriel explain that his Adulteress Mary was paying the sum all the while, doing OT and covering everything to keep this plan alive. knowing that his portion was only 500dollar, he asked how much did Mary personally contributed, Gabriel said 1k! which work Joseph up from his dream... All the while Mary was really doing a lot of work to make up to the 1k of love a month to the relationship and when she found out that Joseph wasn't paying his shares... Mary took even more work and spend even lesser to fulfill the premium.
This story explain that when it comes to love, is not about how much you contributed, is about how much you willing to go to make it possible. Lack of communication was the cause of the relationship, but Mary did not give up yet she make it possible by holding on to Jesus Christ. Who are you in the relationship? Joseph or Mary? if you are starting to think you had contributed a lot in the relationship, think again.... are you really Mary or you are just another Joseph. Life is a long way, how many Jesus Christ will you meet along the way and how will you grab hold of it.
