I was blessed to have both of my boys born in December... their birthdays are only 10 days apart (plus 2 years!). When I was pregnant with Kyle I was asked to write a part for a Christmas Relief Society reading. It was to be from Mary's point of view about her feelings the night of Jesus' birth. I was very humbled to be asked to do this, and I'm not sure if I did it justice or not. But since then, I often think of Mary and how she must have felt that night. Every year when my boys celebrate their birthdays, I am reminded of my feelings. I don't know that I could ever adequately describe my feelings, but I can say that I am so thankful for Mary. I appreciate her sacrifice, and her willingness. I can't imagine the responsibility of raising our Savior, but I am thankful that she agreed to take it on.
I found this clip on youtube the other day, and thought I would share. I love this song by Amy Grant, and someone put it to LDS video, The Nativity. Merry Christmas, everyone!
