Thought for Tuesday December 12

You are the highest honor of our race.
Blessed are you, daughter, by the Most High God,
above all the women on earth;
and blessed be the LORD God,
the creator of heaven and earth.
You are the highest honor of our race.

Luke 1: 26 – 38  The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.  And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

Would I be suspicious of a greeting like this?  Am I ready to accept the responsibility that comes with my gifts?

Action:  Next time you think you are being asked for too much – think of Mary.
