December 9th:
15 Days till Christmas!
As I've been thinking about Christmas and the Savior, Jesus Christ, I have also been thinking about His earthly parents. Can you image what kind of people Mary and Joseph must have been?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has produced videos of many stories from the Bible (If you'd like to watch them, they can be accessed here) and I've selected just a few that stood out to me.
This first video is the exchange between Mary and Elisabeth. It's a very simple clip, but I find it very inspiring. Listening to Mary speak makes me think about the feelings that would accompany such a calling. I see her as being a humble, loving daughter of God.
This video is a great reminder to me that God sees potential in us that we cannot even comprehend. All He asks is that we love him and trust him. And when we do that, great things really do come to pass.
You may not be Mary or Joseph, but do you realize just how important you are?
You have been sent here with a purpose. God loves you.
This second video is Joseph and Mary entering Bethlehem.
Happy Christmas season, everyone!
