Mary and Joseph were not yet married.
The angel appeared and Mary was told who she carried.
Surprised, nervous, she said “I am the Lord’s servant,”
Though looked down upon, and Joseph’s reaction not quite so fervent.,
She was thankful Joseph stood by her side,
For it would be a quite bumpy ride.
Mary was favored by God, and said yes to what was ahead.
She would give birth in a stable, and kiss the Lord’s sweet forehead.
Maybe exasperated at times, she never foresaw the pain He’d face.
The worst day of her life, what He’d do for the worlds sin to erase.
For three long days she’d grieve, then oh the joy she’d know
For her baby’s face would rise, and once again show.
“She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from
their sins…and they will call him Immanuel (which means God with us).” - Matthew 1:21-23
