And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
_{Luke 1:46-49 NIV}

God thinks of you
before you were born
from your first breath
to this very moment.

In your mother’s womb
dark and safe
God knit you together
and set you in place.

In coming and going
the quiet and loud
alone or together
your way he attends.

Vigilant and steady
thought-full, abundant care
always always present
Immanuel

Oh Lord, who am I that you are mindful of me?

When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?
_{Psalm 8:3-4 NIV}
