The first miracle of Christmas began with a girl.
Gabriel, Heaven’s messenger, told young Mary how it was to unfurl.
Though a virgin, she was chosen to mother the King of kings.
She asked a question wondering about the proper order of such things.
“The power of the Most High will overshadow you,” said the angel, and that was enough for Mary,
Did she stop to consider that the consequences could very well be scary?
We know not her every thought, but we do know what we’ve read,
“Let it be unto me according to your word,” is simply what she said.
