Responding to God
Mary and Joseph’s betrothal was probably something their families had long prayed for. Both were from King David’s lineage—a perfect match that would have given both families reason to rejoice. But suddenly God interrupted their celebration.
The swiftness of the angel’s descent into Mary’s story gave her no time to prepare for his message: She had found favor with God and would give birth to His Son—even though she was still a virgin. She must have experienced a torrent of emotion—besides her awe, thoughts of what her family and community would think must have poured into her mind. Mary had to decide: Would she surrender to God’s plan, one that seemed impossible and frightening on the surface?
Mary’s courageous and humble response blazed a trail for every believer. When we surrender to God’s interruptions, we can rest in the knowledge that He always has a higher purpose for our lives.
Activity: As a family, research how different cultures celebrate Christmas. Consider adopting some new traditions.

O tomto plánu
Jedné tiché noci před 2000 lety přinesli andělé novinu o narození Stvořitele skupině pastevců, kteří se starali o svá stáda. Když uslyšeli tu zprávu, tito pastevci všeho nechali a vydali se hledat miminko v jeslích v Betlémě. Ani po všech těch letech se ono pozvání nezměnilo. Přidejte se k doktoru Charlesu Stanleymu, který vám pomůže přiblížit se ke Spasiteli a povzbudí vás, abyste si v tuto roční dobu našli čas odpočinout si v Otcově lásce.
