PAYING IT FORWARD

 
Luke 2:39-41
 
"And in those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit." ESV
 
There is no limit to what God can do when we share the blessings and miracles of God in our lives with others. It continues a chain of the moving and miracles of God in those with whom we share.
 
Heavenly Father, we have failed to even recognize many of the blessings in our lives. Forgive us for being so caught up in the problems and circumstances around us. Help us to be open to the Holy Spirit who will bring to our minds the wonderful things You give us every day. May it bring us such gratitude and joy we can only share it with others. Let the blessings flow, we pray in the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord, Amen.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE

 
Luke 1:29-33
 
"But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.'" ESV
 
Gabriel's visit to Mary was just as surprising and troubling to her as it would have been had he visited you or me. He told her she would be giving birth to the Savior of the world.
 
Heavenly Father, help us to always remember that You speak to us in many ways, at the least expected moments, and with astounding messages. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
