Interesting that John is filled with the Holy Spirit before his birth.

Angels. What in the world about angels. I don’t think I have space in my brain that understands the encounter that muted Zechariah and that announced to Mary. To say that Gabriel was there feels too nonchalant. Then really anything involving God feels too nonchalant if I’m just casually mentioning it.

But too, I can’t be exploding with the reality of what is available just beyond the veil of reality every minute. Couldn’t function. So is it a gift that we experience God, and we remember that experience, but we don’t relive the encounter every minute? God gives us micro doses of God that we can handle?

And Mary is pregnant because “nothing will be impossible with God” v38

Still that reminder should be at the forefront: Whatever is God’s will, God can make happen. What do I need to worry about? If I want only what God wants, and I participate as best as I understand God’s direction, life is easy! .

Just may my thoughts and wants align with God’s so I’m attached only to what is God’s thoughts and wants. Amen
