My life's events have swung from one extreme to the other and both changes were overwhelming. Things have been going well for me these last few months. For one thing, God has given me the ultimate wish in life, which I dare not disclose here. It was all His will that I should achieve that. I know without God I could do nothing.
But then tragedy struck the family. A family member was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. Hubby lost his voice and has to see a doctor. For a while, I was astounded. It was too much. Yet, I do not want to question God's wisdom. It just dawned on me that while I share the same birthday as the Mother of God, I do not share any of her spiritual traits. It is so difficult to be like Mary, who simply said "yes " or "let it be done" to all the things that were going to happen, even if she did not understand the reason behind them.
It is Christmas season again. A time to ponder on Mary's "fiat!" and how salvation of the whole world depended on that one word. Wish I had a speck of that faith. The faith of a young woman, barely out of her teens, which gave her the courage to do what God wanted her to do.
So for this Christmas I ask for myself and for all people, that I may learn to recognize and yield to God's will in every event in my life. I know by myself alone I would not be able to do that. But in Jesus name, I will and all people will.
