Lessons from Mary

It's amazing that when someone mentions 'Mary' we, who know the Bible, know just which Mary we are talking about.

Mary.

A plain name.

A Woman from a plain place.

An amazing heart.

Julie wrote about this on her blog and I just couldn't resist. While we wait to her from Mercy Maternity, this is what I hide in my heart (beside the "oh please, oh please, oh please accept us" prayer).

1) she went to the feet of Jesus for instruction-
Even though her sister Martha was busy making dinner, Mary knew where she should be.

Greg and I couldn't do anything with out His instruction. We seek Biblical and wise council on major decisions. But when it all comes down to it, we end up on our knees and talk.

2) she went to the feet of Jesus for comfort-
When her brother Lazarus died. Jesus wept! (even though He was to bring him back to life)

What if we don't get in? What if we actually do? Where will all the money come from. Oh wait. We have to BE STILL. Thanks Jesus. What would we do without you, our Great Comforter? And really, what do people do without you? I can't even imagine...

3) she went to the feet of Jesus for worship-
She poured expensive perfume over his feet (she gave her best to Him)

Jesus. Great and Might is He. Thank you for you are Majestic! Thank you that we can come to You! You are to be praised for eternity!

Until next time,
