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.

Aangaande hierdie leesplan
Op 'n stil nag, meer as 2 000 jaar gelede, het engele die nuus van die Verlosser se geboorte aan 'n groep herders gebring waar hulle skape opgepas het. Nadat hulle die nuus gehoor het, het hulle alles net so gelos om 'n baba in 'n krip in Betlehem te gaan soek. Oor al die jare heen, het die uitnodiging nie verander nie. Dr. Charles Stanley gaan jou help om nader aan die Here te kom en jou aanmoedig om tydens hierdie Kersgety, tyd te maak om rus in die Vader se liefde te vind.
