The Anticipation of Mary

Will I be a good mother?

Will he be a healthy baby?

How big will he be?

I can't wait to hold him. 

Who will he look like?

Will he have my nose?

Will he have his father's eyes?

I can't wait to see him smile.

Will he be a happy baby?

How much will he cry?

Will I have enough patience?

I can't wait to hear him laugh.

Will he be smart?

Will he like to read?

Will he do well in school?

I can't wait to hear his first word.

Will he be gentle?

Will he be brave?

How many friends will he have?

I can't wait to talk to him.

Will he know how much I love him?

Will he love me as much as I love him?

Will the world love him?

How much will he love the world? 

John 3:16
