The Pondering Heart . . . if I could ask her . . . 12/1/11

Dear Holy Friends,   This time of year we could easily lose our focus on the meaning of the season. Today I want to ponder a few things in my heart the way Jesus' mother did. I was thinking about things I would ask her if I could. Here is the short list.   In his Grip, Chandra     If I could Ask her If I could ask her what would I say? Would I ask about the weather on that day? Or maybe what she felt when the angel called her name? Did she understand her life would never be the same? Was the pregnancy easy since she carried God's Son? Were her pains reduced for the Holy One? What was it like nursing the baby boy? Did rocking Him bring amazing mother's joy? And as He grew did you see the signs? Did you ever question the wisdom of God's design? This time of year I ponder you, the mother of my Lord. I wish I could thank you for giving birth to the Word.   ~Chandra Lynn Smith, 12/1/11~
