Christmas

Mary’s Yes

"Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word."
Luke 1:38

Reflection

Mary did not understand everything and said yes anyway. Trusting before understanding is where nearly every miracle starts.

Prayer

Lord, I want to say yes to You as Mary did. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Did Mary understand everything before saying yes?
  2. What does trusting before understanding mean?
  3. In what can you say yes to God today?

5-minute activity

Each person writes on a card one small yes they can give God this week, like helping without complaining or forgiving someone. Keep the cards near the nativity set or the tree. Read Luke 1:34-38.
