Day 13

Finding of the Christ Child in the Temple

I imagine Mary and Joseph looking for Jesus in the temple. Can you imagine not having Amber Alert? Traveling a whole day back on a donkey to find out where your child is? Looking for 2 more days to find him without knowing if he was alive, dead or in trouble?

Mary knew what Christ's role would be. I can't imagine her terror. Her later relief.

She kept this all in her heart. It wasn't time for others to know. What a huge secret to keep.

I admire Mary and Joseph so much. They accepted a task none of us could handle.
