Mary was beside herself with joy and wonder at the amazing things God was doing in her life. Wonder and joy are probably not the only words that could be used to describe how Mary felt. Anxious, nervous, afraid might be a few other descriptions. We like to think that we are at least in charge of our own lives; of our own destinations. But, God blessed Mary with a gift that she had never requested; one that she never could never had anticipated. Her life and ours was forever changed by this gift. In her, God's Son was conceived. Through her, God's only begotten Son was born.
God gave this gift of His son not just to Mary; but, to the world. He has done this great thing for all of us. Thanks be to God for this precious child born to save us from ourselves. May God continue to do great things for us; turning us from ourselves to love and serve the living Lord.
The Savior lives! He is risen! He is risen, indeed!
God's Peace - Pr. J
