Understanding the blessedness of motherood

I have been reading on Mary, and her reaction to the news that she would conceive of the Holy Spirit and give birth to the Son of God.  Not only was she a virgin, young, but she was CHOSEN by the almighty God, to take part in this big master plan of bringing His Son down to earth.  Did she run? Did she deny Him?  Was she not willing to ruin her reputation?.......She said YES to the call of motherhood, she set aside her own personal circumstances and said " Let it be unto me according to your word."

She was to become the mother of GOD himself.  wow! In her acceptance, she showed her willingness, her surrender, her servanthood, her obedience, her selflessness, and her love for God. 

O that we would rejoice with Mary, that we would understand and accept that motherhood is a blessing, that we would sing and rejoice, and thank the Lord for making us mommas.  No matter that circumstance that may stand in our way, whether finances, or space, whatever it may be, lets sing the song of Mary, the song of rejoicing, and lets magnify the Lord, being forever grateful for considering us as mothers and for CHOOSING us to nurture and raise the children He ordained for us.

The song of Mary: Luke 1:46-56

" My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.  for He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.  For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And Holy is His name.  And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.  He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.  He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly.  he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy, As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to this seed forever."

LORD, I REJOICE AND FIND JOY, THAT YOU HAVE REGARDED ME, AND HAVE FOUND ME WORTHY ENOUGH TO BE THE MOTHER OF GRACE & JOSHUA AND TO RAISE THEM FOR YOU! FOR THAT I AM SO GRATEFUL!
