 Mary showed perseverance too in staying by the tomb when Peter and John left. Then the disciples went back to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. The two men are not to be blamed, but there's also a sense that Mary was rewarded for her perseverance. There's a good lesson for us. Don't be too practical. Sometimes we men can be too practical. There's nothing more to be done. I've got things to do. Well, love sometimes makes us linger.
