Variety: Luke 1v38

Some of the things we do are mundane and unseen. and get little monetary reward or recognition 

Am I being a good Christian if I am not seen doing it? Am I really fulfilling my God-given potential? 

What does it look like to be a faithful disciple of Jesus whilst focused entirely on caring for others? 

Luke 1:38, ‘Behold, the handmaid of the Lord’ (KJV). In other translations, it’s ‘Behold, the servant of the Lord’. .
 
Hanging out the washing: behold, the handmaid of the Lord. 

Doing the school run: behold, the handmaid of the Lord. 

Wiping snotty noses and poopy bums: behold, the handmaid of the Lord. 

Rocking back to sleep at 3am: behold, the handmaid of the Lord. 

In the mundanity, the ordinariness, and the everyday unseen faithfulness of caring and showing up and sticking around: behold, the handmaid of the Lord. 

Today, in the modern mundanity of everyday life, may these words ring in our ears and echo in our prayers: behold, the handmaid of the Lord.
