"When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy," Matthew 2:10.
"And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." Luke 1:30-33.
It wasn't just another normal year in her life. I can't even imagine the huge responsibility and honor of being chosen mortal mother of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Reading about all the miracles surrounding the birth of the Savior, I have joy.
