VIRGIN
Whether you believe in the literal VIRGIN birth or perceive this great
story of VIRGIN birth of Jesus to be a valuable myth it does not change the reality
that the story of the VIRGIN birth has echoed hope over these past centuries. In the accounts of Matthew and Luke, it is
reported that an angel of the Lord appeared to Mary and told her she would
conceive a child by the Holy Spirit and that child will be called the son of
the Most High. Joseph, the husband of
Mary, had a dream confirming what Mary was told. So every Christmas churches re-enact the long
journey that Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem to pay their taxes. And there in Bethlehem Jesus was born. From this time forward many stories have been
reported about the VIRGIN and her role in our lives. If you are intrigued by this VIRGIN and find
her compelling enough to know more, I believe you will be enriched by Clarissa
Pinkola Estes book, Untie the Strong Woman. I found it fascinating and
discovered many meaningful stories about her. In the meantime, the VIRGIN responded to the
angel by saying, “Behold I am a servant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word.” This is the time of the year to give back for
your many blessings, so use the opportunity to serve those around you and make
their lives enriched. Give thanks that
you are alive and purpose your life to give to others as acts of gratitude for
your life.
