“She brought forth… she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes” (Luke 2:7).

It is indeed very beautiful, but oh the pity of it, the tragedy of it, the loneliness of it, that in that hour of all hours, when womanhood should be surrounded by the tenderest care, she is alone.

G. Campbell Morgan

Let us marvel at the humble, faithful servant that is the teenager mother of our Lord and worship our great God who strengthens and equips people like Mary and us to serve His great purpose and to fulfill His will, especially amidst very challenging circumstances.
