After thoughts
SO... I was thinking about Mary...Jesus' mother...and I was really really really thinking about everything she went through. Being 8 months pregnant is NOT fun...can you imagine riding on a donkey? I cant because I cant even sit in the car that long without freaking out...or even the couch for that matter. AND THEN when she gets to the place she needs to be there is no stay in the inn...and they offer her a BARN! Even if the barn had been cleaned out of all the nasty animal dung...it would still smell! Then her water breaks and she is thinking "You have got to be kidding me!" I would NOT want to deliver my child in the nasty dirty stench of an unsanitized BARN! (let alone the Savior of the world!) and then to top it all off they stick him in a feeding troth because they dont have anything else. I wonder how grumpy she must have been...I know I would have been throwing a fit! Just crazy how much humiliation went into something so glorious. I dont ever think about those details enough because I have heard them so many times...but Jesus humiliated Himself right from the start of His earthly stay.
