Ahhhhh. How can I add anything to this wonderful passage? I just feel like both the angel and Mary are so well-spoken here. I love how...forward-thinking...Mary is here. She's not worried about her announced pregnancy, because she knows it's in God's hands, but she is forward-thinking about how it could come to be...how others and her own family will think about her...what Joseph will decide to do. Forward-thinking versus worrying is a topic on my mind these days. There is some balance of which I must be unaware. How to think about life after school and how to pay for my education without worrying that it will burden me forever. How to be "care-free" without being careless..."For with God nothing will be impossible."--Luke 1:37 You know what I think? I don't think it's a matter of the cup being "half-full" or "half-empty"...I think it's a matter of something is there. Period. Whether it be little or much, there is something there with which to work. Mary's situation probably appeared to most "half-empty"...the facts were that she was going to bear the Son of God, possibly without any support. But it was enough. She was thinking ahead, but she trusted. May it be so for all of us!
