The Scriptures do not record any words, of Joseph, husband of Mary, yet his actions speak loud and clear. A man of quiet strength, his faith was strong enough for him several times to change the course of his life. He accepted his pregnant betrothed, married her, and without complaining took her to Bethlehem where the Child was born. Not long after he took his family to Egypt for their safety and began a new, but temporary life there. Called back home out of Egypt. he settled in Nazareth as a craftsman, teaching his son his trade. Words are not necessary for us to see his integrity and to want to spend time beside this "pool of silence," this man whose strength came from a comfortableness with himself and a sureness that came with doing the will of God. Fortunate are we to know a person like Joseph; even more fortunate, to BE another Joseph.
