M - Mary
Read Luke 1:34-38
In almost all the Christmas pictures that I see Mary, Your Mother, is smiling - usually not a great big grin but just a gentle kind of smile that seems to say that she was happy - more than that, that she was honored to be chosen for so great a task, to be the mother of the Lord, to care for you and watch you grow and help you grow till you become a man. That smile says a lot about her attitude. "I am the handmaid of the Lord," she told the angel once. And was she smiling then, surprised and honored as she must have been? That smile says a lot about her attitude. It says a lot about you too, and what it means to trust the Lord in everything and serve you faithfully, with a smile. I am your servant too, O Lord! Help me to serve you with trusting faith, and with a smile.
