I saw a friend today who is very pregnant. She is anxiously awaiting her baby to be born. She complained about her feet and back hurting. I listened as she explained the discomfort of being in the last month of pregnancy. Then I started thinking about Mary. How miserable she must have been riding on the donkey in her last month of pregnancy. And Joseph knowing this was the only way to get to Bethlehem and realizing that the baby would be born on this trip. New parent worries must have filled their minds as they traveled that weary road. I know they were excited and anxious like all parents are as they wait for their child to be born. But there must have been a little more anxiety knowing it was the son of God that was inside of Mary.
Amazing the things that God helps us through.
