—Luke 2:1-7
by: Leota Stevens.
Mary was an amazing young woman. She braved the scorn of her community and the potential rejection by Joseph, the man she adored, when she stepped out in faith to accept God’s will for her life. She most certainly was not a part of the “me generation,” or she would have demanded that Joseph provide her with a more stylish and comfortable means of transportation to Bethlehem, and she would have insisted on pre-booking a room at the local Hospitality Inn that offered free deliveries. We need to accept God’s plan for our lives with the same kind of humility and submission that Mary demonstrated.
