The Holy Family

I think of the Holy Family as my inspiration.  Mary was conceived without sin but she still was a human and Joseph was just like us.  Through their love for Christ they did amazing things they never thought they would do.

Joseph and Mary lived in a very small town and lived simple lives of labor until the day Christ came into their lives.  After that they traveled, met wise men, and for at least a while were the talk of their village.  Having Christ to love must have been so strengthening.  Their faith, especially Joseph's must have bloomed.

Mary went on to travel with Jesus and went through all she did with his death and resurrection and ended her life in a foreign land.  God's love will lead you, if you let it to a much bigger life.  That life may have a lot of sorrow and difficulties but it will be a life worth living and it won't be the life you thought you would have.  All you have to do is follow.
