Read Luke 1:39-55 with your family.

Having a baby is very exciting, and it is scary. Mary believed in God and accepted that God chose her to be the mother of Jesus, but that did not mean she was completely relaxed about the whole thing. She was nervous. What would people think? How would they look at her? Would her family still support her? Would her friends stick around? These were some of Mary’s worries.

Mary took those worries to her cousin Elizabeth, and Elizabeth was able to make Mary feel better.

Elizabeth showed Mary that even when God calls you to do big and scary things, God will always provide helpers along the way.
