These are my thoughts, please share yours.
56 She stayed for three months, it was not as common in those days to visit people so when you did you spent a time with them because mostly likely you would only see them a handful of times in life and maybe none after being married and having children.
57 This would been after Mary left, Mary may have leave to leave before Elizabeth bore John because of her time to give birth was soon. We should make time for family.
58 Many times birth was not likely for someone this old and they would have waited to see if they baby was born before they celebrated, they knew this was allowed by God. We need to be willing to give praise to God because of what He does for others but when first need to praise Him for what He does for us.
