Christmas Season

                               

Going through a pregnancy this time of year, I can't help but have SO much love and respect for sweet Mary. I can only imagine the type of pregnancy she experienced. Knowing that she was giving birth to the Savior of the world had to cause her to feel so so many different emotions.... And she gave birth in a stable... I mean come on, that's pretty impressive. She traveled by donkey for days to be some place safe to give birth to our Lord, while being 38 weeks pregnant. Yikes. I can't believe the things that she went through to be the mother to Jesus. And then there is Joseph... What a trooper! We don't really have details of her being sick but my guess is that she did because of no modern day medicine there to rely on; which means he was her medicine, her shoulder to lean on. He took great care of her and made sure she was as comfortable as possible. He tried so hard to find somewhere for her to give birth but all of the inns were full. I'm sure all he wanted was a bed for her to lay in. He had so much faith in Mary, and love for Jesus. What a beautiful story of Christ's birth and what His mother and father went through to make sure He was as heathy as possible.

I want the same for our sweet baby. I have such a deeper love for Mary and Joseph and what they went through for Him. I know the emotions that they had to experience and it's a great feeling to know I will have that same kind of love for a child soon! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season! Remember to pray to the Lord and thank Him for all the blessing we have and thank Him for coming to this earth for us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (I can't wait for what 2016 has instore for The Sprunts!)
