Those Christmas Women

Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, Elizabeth, Mary and Anna..

2 Prostitutes
1 Adulterer
4 Widows
3 Pregnant with children not their husbands
3 Gentiles
2 Barren
2 lost their first born to violent deaths
1 lost their baby because of their sin
2 mothers of Kings
1 mother of the King of Kings

What an amazing group of women listed and named in the story of Jesus' birth. I will be wondering with you, the significance of these women and what we can learn from their stories.

Tamar...Tenacity for Justice
Rahab... Survival in Chaos
Ruth..Loyalty in Suffering
Bathsheba...Beauty in Ashes
Elizabeth...Honor in Humility
Mary...Ferocity for Righteousness
Anna...Worship in Waiting
