Thank You For Your Son

It came as a surprise when she found she was with child, carrying with in her was the boy child who would save us all. Wonder what she thought back then when she found out that she was going to give birth to the boy child who would be the Savior of the world and then be taken away on a wooden cross on a hill side? Never once did she complain but embraced the life growing inside her all the time knowing that the day would come when she would be taught all about her son who came to us on Christmas. Was he a good baby I wonder some times? Did he ever have his days and nights mixed up? Was he ever fussy and cranky as normal kids? When he was older did he play marbles, or at least games with the other kids his age, did he know he was different the night he came to us? When he grew to teen age hood I am sure he had a sense of understanding of what his purpose was, and why he had been given to this woman and man. Was he ever discouraged, having second thoughts on things, laying awake worrying where would the next days food come from? Of course I am sure there were many days he lost faith, felt let down by his Father above asking the questions Why? Thank you Mary and Joseph for sharing your beloved baby boy with us because with out him we would be nothing. Thank you God for loving us enough to give us your only son. I am sure it was painful to watch him DIE on that cross but I am so glad he did.
