Good Sunday Mornin’ folks. As we run cattle through the chute, some will fight every moment while being worked; once in a while one will walk in stand docile like as she is worked, and then walk out as if nothing happened. It is lots easier on the docile animal than the wild one. As I was reading the Christmas story again this week, I was struck by the verse where Mary tells the angel “Behold the maidservant of the Lord. Let it be to me according to thy word.” This teenage girl had just been told she would be pregnant out of wedlock even if she was a virgin. What an amazing example of trust and submissive obedience to the Lord. I know that sometimes I am like the wild cow, and things are a lot tougher for me than they have to be. I would like to be as willing and submissive a servant of the Lord as this young woman was. She is a great positive role model for us all. It is so much better for all involved, the Master as well as the servant, if we just trust and obey. Have a good Sunday mornin’ and a great rest of the week, too.
