During my devotion time this morning, I pondered about what Mary must have pondered. How would her peers judge her for being an unwed teenage mother, how Joseph could really love her and trust her, how she could be a mother to the Son of God, how her parents looked at her, how does Joseph know anything about birthing a baby, how to breastfeed, how to travel on a donkey with a tiny baby, no disposable diapers, no pain meds, no one to ask for help…………except maybe her son….WOW!
That is my favorite verse in the Christmas story!
