Celebrating God's Goodness
After Hannah is blessed with the birth of Samuel, she dedicates him and then offers a prayer of thanksgiving to God. She rejoices over his deliverance, rests in his control, trusts in his knowledge of her situation, and hopes in God’s plan. We are encouraged to do all those things as well, but the focus of the passage is the “anointed one,” Jesus Christ.

Overflowing Joy
Having accepted the call of God on her life in bearing God's son Jesus, Mary hurries to her cousin Elizabeth's house--a difficult 80-mile journey, perhaps a journey made alone. In her determination, she wrestles with the idea of society's opinion of her as an unwed mother, even though she knows the truth of the conception. Upon her arrival at Elizabeth's house, joy overflows between these two women and Mary finds refuge there for three months. Can we experience this overflowing joy in our lives today? After a time of deep struggling and questioning, God often brings an exuberant, transforming joy to us that boils over to those we encounter.

Dream Child
Sometimes we don't get the child we had dreamed of and hoped for. [Note: This message owes much to a message of the same name by Daniel Meyer, which can be found at PreachingToday.com. While I adapted the main idea behind this message, I believe I did enough work on it to claim it as my own, with credit given to Meyer.]
