It is awesome how God used Mary and Elizabeth to encourage one another in their season of hardship yet extraordinary blessing. Never thought of it as a baby shower before so that is an interesting perspective to look at. I just take it as a call for us to encourage one another in Christ and thus fulfilling the second great commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:39).
