St. Joseph

I have been thinking of St. Joseph, what a good and honorable man. What must he thought, the first time he saw the infant Jesus and held him? As all new parents do, did he stare in amazement at this little baby? Was he frozen in fear, that this was the Messiah? Did he wonder how could he handle taking care of this infant? .... then I think when someone is sent such a great grace and responsibility a great grace is also sent. The grace to know that in the person of Jesus Christ is all of us.... In the act of God taking on flesh he showed such love and humility, that the only way to respond to this is to do its equal, by showing love and humility as accepting that which, is sent to us.
If you are sent the job of raising the Messiah as St. Joseph was, step up to the plate and do it as he did. Whatever you are sent in life, step up to the plate in love and humility, like St. Joseph did and do the job. Nothing is too great, or too small, or menial. If you are given a small job do it in love and humility, if you are given a great job do it the same way. We are all but workers here on earth. Even Jesus was a ,"worker", when he walked on earth, his work was Salvation.
No matter who you are or what you do, even if it is "nothing" to the world, you are of value. Your work is to love God... that is a "job" we are all called to do...
