I often think about Joseph's response to God's call...repeatedly. First, Joseph learned that his soon-to-be wife was pregnant but he was not the baby's biological father. That, alone, was reason for Joseph to walk away. But he didn't. Listening to God's through an angel, Joseph wed Mary anyway. Not only did he become her husband, he also became the earthly father to her son, the very Son of God.
I wonder how Joseph felt as he chose God's way instead of the ways of the world. As he peacefully, humbly and quietly responded to God's purpose and plan, Joseph soon literally touched the face, hands and feet of the Savior. May I follow Him more closely now so that I may also see and touch Him later.<3~thl
