Christmas Time

4 1/2 days until Christmas and the packages are wrapped, the tree is decorated, the plans are made for the day. Our schedule and life is so hectic. It was nice to sit and watch my father-in-law in his church's christmas play on Saturday.It was a time to look at the Christmas story in a whole different way. It let you see the story from different perspectives. Like how did Josephs parents react to hearing that the women their son was about to marry was pregnant and the baby wasnt their sons. How did Marys parents view her? I am sure it wasnt as the Saviour of the worlds mother. Joseph and Mary might have faced hardships from family and friends by following God's plan and not what everyone thought should happen. I encourage everyone this season to take a chance and really read and focus on the story of Jesus birth. Dont read it lightly and really think about everything that went on. Think about how Mary felt and Joseph, their parents, and family.
