What love?

"He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child." (Luke 2:5, NIV)

Joseph was one amazing guy. He trusted God. He trusted Mary. I can only imagine the taunting he endured. It can be miserable to know people think you are a fool. My initial response is to defend myself. Yet Joseph allowed God to be his refuge. Was he afraid? To travel such a great distance with his pregnant fiancé was a daunting task. I love his ability to think on his feet. I love his courage. He loved Mary a great deal. His faithfulness inspires me and breathes freshness into the season.
