Mary...Dear Anonymous, that is such a lovely story! Mary truly is so special, and it's refreshing to hear a Protestant who loves her as much as she loves all of us. What a miracle! Our Blessed Mother has such a wonderful way of looking after us! :)<br />Thank you for sharing, and thank you for the compliments.<br />God Bless!Abigail C.

I do no...Beautifully written, absolutely Beautiful. I do not like the label "Protestant" although I am not Catholic. Let me briefly state, I earned a degree in theology almost 20 years ago. But that only gave me a tiny beginning to the journey I have taken in life. I found your blog after searching the Internet to see if there was a group of non Catholic Christians who love Mary. I feel that Protestants have 'thrown out the baby with the bathwater'. We will do entire sermon series on Paul, the Prophets, etc but do not dare say much about Mary except maybe at Christmas. She became precious to me after going through a time where I was unjustifiably sued for full custody of my young child. I indeed had nothing to worry about and I not only retain custody of her but the other party have left the scene (it was financially motivated). But when someone attacks what is most precious and in streams of tears prayers to the Lord are desperate beyond description, things change. I found myself asking God to "ask Mary!" SHE knows how it feels for someone to attack her Child!" "She KNOWS the heart of an innocent Mother!!" I felt such love and warmth come into my life after that time and in the weeks following my prayer I actually found a beautiful picture of Mary (a copy of a classical painting) that was laying on the ground. I felt it a sign that my prayers were heard and God was close to me. I now have that picture proudly framed in my home and I wear a necklace with her face on it. My longing is to communicate to ALL Christians how precious she is and as a woman, worth emulating in her humility and Motherhood. I still hope to find others like myself who long for unity in all areas of the Body of Christ.
