Reading the second chapter of Luke this morning and thinking about the journey Joseph and Mary made from Nazareth to Bethlehem--it's a distance of around 60 miles. Nearing the end of her pregnancy and traveling on a donkey, Mary wasn't having an easy ride. No paved roads, no rest stops and no comfortable place to rest on arrival. What great faith they both had to break with the morality of their day and to undertake this journey proscribed by the law.
As a believer, I am in awe of their faith and obedience and grateful for both.
