Answer:
Mary showed us how to surrender. When faced with an offer from God to accept the title of Mom as a virgin, Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” Luke 1:38 NLT Mary said yes right away. When disciplining, inspiring, or being in the same room with my kids seems impossible, I often complain, worry, or waste time instead of saying “yes” right away to God’s call on me as a parent. Mary completely surrendered to God’s request, even though she probably had plans for her life that made more sense.
Explanation: Joseph trusted God, even when it didn’t make sense. Considering his fiancée had started growing a baby bump, Joseph could’ve chosen to listen to the logic or advice of others and left Mary behind. Instead, he chose to parent Jesus, trusting God as the true Father. My two boys have fought asthma for years. I’ve watched my sweet two-year-old’s chest rising and falling, deciding if I needed to bring him to the emergency room. Parenting may feel too big for you to handle.
