I was thinking about Mary suddenly.
Jesus' mom.
Her life.. it was quite incredible, isn't it?
No wonder that some of our friends would look up to her in such a special way.
Think about it.
From Genesis to Revelation..
has any woman ever conceived in such a way?
by the Holy Spirit? which literally means.. God?
I can't even imagine what that really, really means.
If you watch anime, you probably know this show 'Beelzebub'.
Well that baby was totally not normal. Only the characters in the show would believe he was human.
But Jesus?
He was born a baby. Human.
I suppose Mary would have expected a glow in the dark baby at least.
But there he was.. warm and tiny, in her embrace.
Baby Jesus.
And I suppose baby Jesus needed breastfeeding as well.
So their relationship would've been truly.. that of a mother and child from day one.
to try imagining Mary..
on one hand a normal mother,
and yet on the other hand,
doing her best to grasp this grand plan that God has for mankind.
with her son being at the center of it all.
Gabriel never told her anything about the cross.
What a roller coaster ride.. those 33 yrs have been.
From giving birth to the 'King of prophecy',
watching Him grow.. so special and yet so human.
witnessing Him performing all the 'beyond Krypton' kind of miracles,
and then.. 33 years later..
Stood there.
Watching her beloved son...
up there.. on the cross.. dying..
fulfilling his duty..
as His beloved Son.
What did Mary have in her mind? I wonder..
I only know that her heart must have been broken.
Could God not give her a simpler life?
And yet.. I imagine that scene when she and Joseph were old.
when their baby son was no longer on earth..
when all the prophesies had been fulfilled in their very son,
mission accomplished.
she would probably be sitting next to her loving husband..
thinking of all the things that they have gone through.
At that time she would probably smile,
as she remembered the angel's words that very night.
she would nod in agreement,
whispering while she looked upward.
"I am blessed indeed.. so blessed."
