It's a special sister highlight today....
“For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."
Luke 1:46–48
Mary, the mother of the Jesus, lived in humble circumstances on this earth...
she wasn't wealthy or entitled in this life...
She was not shielded from pains or heartache ....Mary knew the hardships, disappointments and struggles that we all know...yet she was worthy to be the mother of the Son of God.... and she was most privileged among women...
Could you imagine having an angel come
and ask you to be His mother?
Have you ever wondered what she was thinking? How she must have felt? and yet there is only one answer in the scriptures that can tell us a little about who she is....
"Behold, the handmaid of the Lord:
be it unto me according to thy word."
Luke 1:38
and again is verse 46 & 47:
"My soul doth magnify the Lord. An my Spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior."
What faith she must have had!!! What hope for the Christ child. She was taught her whole life that a Savior would come and now she was asked to be apart of His great work.
....talk about humbling!

COULD YOU HAVE DONE IT???
Raised the Son of God??
You can tell by one scripture (mentioned above) that Mary was
obedient and faithful...
...she lived her life to be receptive to the promptings of the Spirit..
...to do Gods will.
She was full of charity.
Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.
