Imagine being Mother to Jesus!

Imagine being in Mary's place as mother to Jesus. What a hard life she had.
She brought up from what we read a very well behaved child but, from the beginning of his
life someone was always trying to kill him.And constantly having to keep one step ahead of
those people. Then at 12 he goes to the temple and they start home only to find they have
lost him. How terrifying that had to have been. And when they found him he corrected Them
for being worried. But, that was only the beginning of the worry and the sadness and sorrow.
Because He is to be the savior of the world.

Then he began his ministry. And I'm sure  she traveled around following him. Wow  what
feelings she must have experienced  seeing her son doing miracles and healing people and
casting out demons. And how it must have broke her heart to hear how much her son was
hated for doing these things and even more so for teaching the things of God. She always
knew he belonged to God but, can you imagine how she must felt seeing how he was
treated. I can imagine my thoughts off having been told by the angel that I was blessed of all
women to be mother to the child of God; and how her feelings must have changed from 
elation to questioning what she did wrong to deserve to suffer the way i am sure that  she did
seeing the child she loved so much be hated so fiercely that they crucified him. Oh the
 hysteria she must have experienced as they beat him and abused them and then killed him.
Personally I think I would have lost my mind being mother to Jesus. I don't think I could have
been as humble and  quiet enough to just carry this in my heart as Mary did. But, imaging the
pride you would feel knowing your child was Jesus , the son of the most high God. Wow
what an honor.!

very down to earth Cheryl. It makes you imagine what a mother would feel like to have her son being made fun of and beaten and killed. Don't know if i could do it either. Thanks. Linda A
