This is a very lovely incident that is recorded in the Scriptures for us to be Blessed and Encouraged by. Indeed, this was Precious Fellowship enjoyed by two pregnant ladies, Elizabeth and Mary. (Both of them Chosen by God) In many 'non-Western' cultures, in Bible Days, and even today, to carry a child in pregnancy was, and is, a very special Blessing, the pregnant mother is treated in a 'special' way. This is something for us to learn from. All True Believer family members should Bless, honour and care for the pregnant mother in their midst.
