Let’s consider the blessings that Mary received and how she continued to marvel at what God was doing in her life.

Blessings in Mary's life

1. Mary had a special call from God

2. Mary’s husband, Joseph was loving and supportive

3. Mary had a healthy baby boy

4. God blessed Mary by validating the miracle

Mary gave thanks for her blessings and marveled at how good God had been to her.

We may often hear people say,

“I don’t get very excited about Christmas.”
“I’ve been through so many of them.”
“I’ve had so many terrible experiences.”
“This year I just want to get through it.”
“It doesn’t excite me anymore.”

How do we recapture the wonder of Christmas?
