FULL OF GRACE

Joseph thought she was most beautiful woman in the village of Nazareth. She carried her water jar and she carried herself with so much grace whenever she walked to the village well for water. 

Well, one day Joseph made the comment to his friends: “There is the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world. Look at her. She is full of grace. She could turn water into wine."

Then with a spark in his eyes and a smile on his face he said, “That is the woman whom I’ll marry."

Then he added, "Wait till you see our first son. He’ll be the best carpenter in the world wide world as well.”

And from that day forward Joseph got a new title, “Full of Exaggeration.” 

In the meanwhile, whenever the young men and the young women of Nazareth, saw them walking together, they loved to whisper, “Wait till 'Full or Exaggeration' marries 'Full of Grace.' Guarantee: things will be different around here.”
