A woman with that much dignity, perseverance and class doesn't need a meaningless label. She is Person of the Year, whatever group or person gets the magazine cover.
I agree, grania. The accolades of this world are seldom given to a true witness of Jesus Christ because the world looks solely on the outward appearance. Meriam is truly precious in the sight of God and will be rewarded greatly for her example of perseverance, bravery, and her trust in the Lord.
