Mary & Joseph :)

Mary & Joseph traveled a long, hard, road to give us a “Breath of Heaven”

It’s hard to even imagine the courage and trust in God that Mary and Joseph had. The way they obeyed God without knowing where God’s path would lead. Can we imagine being so young and in love, yet putting it all aside to Follow God, obeying God’s whispered words without hesitation. Would we?

It is such a sweet story, the birth of our Savior, but their travel to the manger where Jesus was born was really, really hard! Can we imagine how difficult it was to travel all that way on a bumpy road at nine months pregnant? Or Joseph’s concern for his wife as She stuggled through those last hours? And yet, through it all they loved, trusted and obeyed God! What an example for us to follow 🙂

Because through it all, Mary and Joseph were there. Loving each other and loving Jesus. He was their Son and He was their Savior!

And when the path became difficult, Mary was there. Standing at the Cross, supporting and comforting Her Son, whom She loved so much. And when Jesus had died and risen, Mary went to Ephesus and gave us a Great Gift, the Stations of the Cross. A way for us to meditate on the major events of Jesus’s Life.

Serving God is not always the easy path to take, but it is always so very worthwhile!
