Surprised by Joy-"The Joy of Mary-The Joy of the Wait"

our theme, “Surprised by Joy,” with a consideration of, “The Joy of Mary, the Joy of the Wait.”
Mary’s joy is accepting God’s plan for her life, not her own. She rejoices even as she believes that if God sends it, it must be good, even if it involves pains and crosses. Joy isn’t always tinsels and bows. Joy is receiving what God has for us in Christ, and knowing that in Christ, HIS PLAN will always be good.
