CHRISTMAS 2015 REFLECTIONS
Mary and Joseph had an interesting start to their marriage life. In today's Christian context, they are not the ideal couple. They are just starting their marriage on the WRONG FOOT! My husband and I have counseled with countless couples before their wedding and marriage life, some we have walked a little further with, while others just needed help for the season. There is no doubt that it is a rewarding yet very expensive affair. Leave alone issues of money...that is a non-i ssue, but the time, the effort, the worry, the joys and pains of planning a life together. You hope that they will overcome their challenges and stay together, you have faith that they will be great parents, but you must have love for them, whether they keep you close or far away, they are yours forever! When I think about this couple, Mary and Joseph, i see Faith, i see hope, but i see the greatest...love. Love to accept a virgins tale of an Angel, Love to protect the virgin, Love to love God...
