just for today . . .a mother's heart . . .3/26/13

Dear Holy Friends,   During Advent we ponder Mary and Joseph and the baby. I believe historians tells us Joseph was dead by the time Jesus was crucified. That left Mary to ponder things all alone. Being a mother of four sons her heart really touches mine. How did she make it through that week, for she knew what God said about her son?   In His Grip, Chandra     the mother's heart     From the day he was born     she pondered things, Treasured moments and days     filled with good things. How quickly did the joy     from Sunday fade? Did she wish someone     His place would trade? From His first breath she'd known     this sad day would come. But maybe she had hoped     God would spare His Son. With the crowd she rejoiced     it was God's Plan. Her Son would make way the     salvation of man. She knew that week God's will     would be done, How hard to grasp the truth     her Savior was her Son.   ~Chandra Lynn Smith, 3/26/13~
