The woman who birthed the man that changed the world

In today's episode, we discuss Mother Mary's endeavours right before the birth of baby Jesus. We look at what her life was like before this and the judgements she would've had to endure as a young soon-to-be wife. We look at her godly characteristics and personality to be chosen to take on such a blessing, her bravery to own this role, her obedience to the Lord to carry this precious baby, and her perseverance and resilience through the society's judgements. Mary is a perfect example and role model of obeying the Lord and doing what is expected of her, regardless of the world's opinions. She was also Jesus' sweet companion, always following him and listening to his teachings. And she was never afraid to stand up for what she believed in, always encouraging those around her to follow Christ. However, she also endured the worst heartbreak a mother could go through, and that was to watch her precious baby die and be crucified in front of her very eyes. If there is anything I hope you learn from this episode, is that during this Christmas season, we remember and reflect on the values this Godly woman had. She is everything and more that I hope to be.
