Mary must have been nervous. Planning a trip when you are 9 months pregnant must have been a nightmare. She must have wanted to pack the whole house.
We spend so much time and effort getting everything ready. We pack things, just in case we'll need them and usually never do. The point is we try to be prepared for every eventuality.
So why do we prepare for everything except our spiritual state? We usually put our spirituality on the "I'll deal with that when I get back" list. Let's challenge ourselves to not ignore God this festive season. Let's spend a bit more time pondering our relationship with God, than just saying thanks for sending Jesus into our world, on Christmas morning.
