I was raised, pretty much, to give Mary little attention and importance, almost less than everyone else in the Bible. I don't like feeling fear of honoring Mary, but I am still hesitant. Yet I have often wondered how I am supposed to be Christ-like as a woman, since Jesus is a man and God is always referred to in the masculine form, as far as I know. It may seem obvious to some, but now I think maybe Mary is someone I can look to for a true example of femininity, motherhood, and profound love for God. I never understood it this way. It gives me a lot of hope. Thank you for sharing these precious thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33812968.post-1162998896607539522006-11-08T07:14:00.000-08:002006-11-08T07:14:00.000-08:00This post is beautiful and amazing.
