Just Like So by Lacey Christenson Just Like So by Lacey Christenson. Mary and Joseph hold the newly born baby Jesus. They are surrounded by angels in the sky and white sheep.

And again, I had a baby this season- just like last.. Only this time my tiny little baby came and needed extra help.. But there was a medical team.. Ready, educated, and loving. We were in a warm hospital where I knew everyone.. My Doctor quietly and softly said he would stand by me while I stood alone for a moment and my baby got prepared to go into a helicopter. Again, Mary came to mind.. How did you do it? Last year I feared influenza and other sicknesses and then thought, Mary.. You did this and outside.. In lowly lowly circumstances…

You had no warm hospital bed or medical team standing by just in case…

You will never cease to humble me year after year, especially this time of year and this season of my life, and the current season of life. I love You.

Maybe there was no one but her loving spouse that was visibly seen.. But I'm certain beyond words that like each of us.. Mary and Joseph were not alone and just like so.. the Heavens were lit and so were their spirits regardless of where and how.
