The Candle of Love, The Angel Candle


 Having given birth to two beautiful children, I did not ride on the back of a donkey nearly 90 miles to give birth to either one of them.  I often wonder, especially during this time of year what was going through Mary's mind? She was just a child herself.  She was engaged to be married, and she was pregnant.  Poor Joseph, what he must have been thinking? Or I can imagine a conversation with some of Joseph's friends. Wait, your fiance` is pregnant? 

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:  The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.  Really Joseph? Do you believe that? 

Matthew 1:23 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel-which means God with us.

I am wondering how much love Mary and Joseph received from friends? I wonder how much support? 

God's plan and purpose, from the beginning...  

So, during this Advent season, and as we light this fourth and final candle, the candle of love, the angel candle, before we celebrate His anticipated Birth...
