On our way to Christmas

I've started to read Luke. Even after one chapter, it's been a blessing and it has brought me true Christmas spirit.

Luke 1. 

I love how God decided to send his Son here for us the way he did. 

Even before Jesus was born, God made sure his Son's birth would be anything but ordinary.

What makes Luke 1. so wonderful, in my opinion, is that God wanted to use two women. And not in a boring way! He showed his power through these women's lives. 

Mary:

My soul glorifies the Lord

and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

for he has been mindful

of the humble state of his servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed,

for the Mighty One has done great things for me—

holy is his name.
