Mary Did You Know

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.


In the midst of Christmas preparation, decorating, buying presents to make everyone happy Christmas morning, and enduring the holiday hustle-n-bustle, I am thinking of Mary.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?


How unprepared Mary must have felt when Gabriel appeared to her announcing God's perfect plan. The Son of God born to a virgin. So many questions she must have needed answered. So many preparations that she wished to have and needed to bring the Ultimate Gift into this world on what would become the true Christmas. Celebrated by a world for thousands of years.

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.

The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.


Her ordinary life turned most extraordinary.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.


The Perfect Plan was born on Christmas morning.

In the chaos and planning of Christmas, calm your heart and remember what Christmas morning truly was and is and make that your focus this Christmas.
