Imagine just saying 'yes' to God, no matter how preposterous it sounds. I know I've said 'no' to God for things that are way less intimidating.<br />All that riding a donkey to give birth in a foreign town, and no place to stay either. They all just had each other, and maybe that's what the Father wanted us to learn. We really do have such a complete gift in our families. <br />Beautiful words my friend,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-85214500613646544812014-12-09T18:31:36.152-06:002014-12-09T18:31:36.152-06:00No wonder we arise and call that select young woma...No wonder we arise and call that select young woman blessed ...Linda@Creeksidehttp://creeksideministries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-45755925841218061072014-12-09T10:35:16.931-06:002014-12-09T10:35:16.931-06:00My reading on Mary has confirmed exactly what you ...My reading on Mary has confirmed exactly what you said.

It would have been a great scandal bringing shame to all the family. To then proclaim that you are carrying the Son of God would have been blasphemy at the very least. Mary would have either been stoned to death or thought of as totally insane. Yet, despite the fear of shame, and fear for her own and her family's safety, she said "Yes" to the Lord. We owe her a lot for that "Yes"!<br /><br />For a man to find out his girl-friend is pregnant and the baby is not his, is bad enough. Most men would have run a mile in the opposite direction. To be told the baby is the Son of God is more than any man in such circumstances could understand. We owe a lot to Joseph too, for staying by Mary's side.<br /><br />As for there being no room in the inn, or hotel; well ... it was Christmas and all the places had been already booked in advance.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-65245704491676260792014-12-09T08:10:17.425-06:002014-12-09T08:10:17.425-06:00Thank you, Vannie!Thank you, Vannie!luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520683067915486215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-4561554208572060052014-12-09T08:08:03.217-06:002014-12-09T08:08:03.217-06:00No, Vannie--I cannot begin to imagine what she mus...No, Vannie--I cannot begin to imagine what she must have felt!
