I'm sitting in the half darkness reading in the light of the Christmas tree. The fog outside just lends to the silence and coziness inside. I love this time of year.
Here are the words that I'm pondering:
"Mary didn't know whether to give him milk or give him praise, but she gave him both since he was, as near as she could figure, hungry and holy.
Joseph didn't know whether to call him Junior or Father. But in the end he called him Jesus, since that's what the angel had said and since he didn't have the faintest idea what to name a God he could cradle in his arms....
Don't you think...their heads tilted and their minds wondered, 'What in the world are you doing, God?' Or, better phrased, 'God, what are you doing in the world?'" --Max Lucado
Emmanuel, God with us.... My mind can't even wrap around it, but my heart unfolds and blossoms to the truth.

I STILL can't fathom it, but I've also never considered it from Mary or Joseph's perspective other than to imagine their great terror at having left the Son of Man at the temple!
Amy,
Don't we all struggle some days with thoughts about ourselves? It is a good thing the Word is so packed with truth!
Merry Christmas!
