IMITATE THEIR FAITH/MARY - "DO WHATEVER HE SAYS"

 Parents today can learn much from Mary's faith.  Granted,  no one else ever raised a child quite like Jesus.  But when any child, however imperfect, becomes an adult, the transition may present challenges.  A parent may tend to  continue treating her son or daughter as a  young child, though such treatment may no longer be appropriate. (1 Corinthians 13:11) How can a parent be helpful to a grown offspring?  One way is to express sincere confidence that a faithful son or daughter will continue to apply Bible teachings and receive Jehovah's blessing as result.  A person's humble expressions of faith and confidence may do grown children much  good.  Jesus no doubt cherished Mary's  support duriing the evenful years that followed.
