After all we need to
Very much in the Lord
Jesus at the time over in
Having Mary and Joseph in the
Riding very hard in the road to such
A dirty inn and in the having
Been picked over in the inn
Due to Jesus Christ being born of
Near poverty but God planned that
So that we can have eternal life
But how we needed the Lord to save us all.

JPPT1974's Veteran's Day 2024:
But the precious and in the
Supposedly helpless baby to the
World and in how Mary and Joseph
That would be married and
Joseph understood that over
In the Lord God that Mary didn't have
A baby out of wedlock but that
Mary was pregnant with the Lord Jesus
By God after hearing and learning from it.

Over in the long road for

JPPT1974's Thurs Thoughts 11/14/2024:
How that life for the two and
Giving birth to Christ Jesus
Was never going to be an easy road an
Understatement but that they
Leaned on God for without God
It would had been much more worse.
Still despite being born in such a
Messy and smelly inn of animals and
People still that baby in the manger born of
Humble beginnings and humility
Latter word in a good kind of way.

Came in a broken way for the broken

JPPT1974's Weekend Thoughts 11/15-11/17/2024:
Imagine that you were
Living in those times and
How that it was very hard
For both Mary in the being
Pregnant with God's one and
Only Son and Joseph having to
Pulling beyond his weight to
Go where God would want His Son to be
Born in such humble beginnings.

How that Mary that
Was pregnant and in the being the
Virgin that God picked and that
God could had in the being
Picking anybody and everybody
Else but Mary we may not know until
You and I get to heaven and
Ask the Lord God about everything.
For why Mary was chosen!

You know you possibly
Couldn't blame Mary for her
Predicament but it was anything
But a predicament and in the
Knowing that God never makes
Mistakes as really she didn't
Know any better but really she
Didn't question or complain.

But that she was very young
Quite not an adult and was
Just a child and that God
Comforted and assured Mary
That what she was carrying was
His Son and that she may had been
Feeling on so much feelings from
Anxiety to confusing as nobody could
Blame her one bit!

But that she didn't
Understand but she could had
Questioned God like why me
Lord as that I am just a
Poor young Jewish woman that
Is ordinary but God sees on the inside
Keep that in mind!
Mary was extraordinary in what she
Really was about to do!

And that realizing that
God made her role into
His Word the Bible and
That she would be in the
Giving birth to Jesus and
Instead of in a palace like
Other kings as Jesus was not
Just an ordinary king bear in
Mind over on that!

But that realizing that
In the situation that was
Very dire for those in living in
Sin and having to bring animals to sacrifice
To the alter in the OT times but
In the NT that Jesus would be the
Savior and Lord and it seems that while before
Mary gave birth He was a very helpless baby.
The world wouldn't understand or know that the
So called helpless baby would come to sacrifice His sin
For us so we wouldn't have to do as Joseph found out by
God's angel and married Mary right away!

Yep

One sacrifice for all sins, past, present, future. A true believer cannot sin & it not be covered, so great is the Father's love. Your sin doesn't catch him off guard, he's not surprised by it. BUT: called to repent

Joseph is often the
Overlooked and sadly in
Forgotten over in the carrying
His new wife and that over in the
Child that was not really his but
God's child but he was a father
Figure for the newborn Savior and Lord
Of the world and all of mankind.

How Mary and Joseph had
Over in overcoming adversity as that is an
Understatement and how that
For in the trying to get for
In the going to in the technically
Us against the world mentality
How that they would have to
Really travel on foot and camel.

Bear in mind that
They were also kids
But that regardless of
How this was going to
Change their lives forever
But at the time they
Didn't at all realize how big
It was going to be later on.
Knowing that the only virgin that
Gave birth on record.

Over in the inn for three people
Especially Mary the young virgin.
