The Nativity

Mary SAID YES, then WALKED OUT HER FAITH.  She LABORED to bring God to earth.
Joseph TRUSTED what God said and planned, even if there were skeptics who would forever raise their eyebrows, spread rumors, and shun his family.
Jesus CAME, and YIELDED to His Loving Father’s greater plan every moment of His life.

Shepherds were amazed, and REJOICED.
Wise men traveled far, knowing that to SEEK HIM was a divine and amazing opportunity.

These were all living people who made choices, some of them in extremely difficult circumstances, to respond to God.  It wasn’t just theory for any of them.  They adjusted the rest of life to be participants in His plans, to share what they were observing, to discover more of who He is and meet Him in person.  They ended up with incredible stories to tell.  It is the invitation to all of us.
