Preparation for the birth of Christ

“At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth” (Luke 1:39).

What did Mary do to “get ready” in the above verse? Perhaps she tidied up, or packed up something beautiful from her loom—maybe a recent project she was weaving. Can you picture her bringing a lovely token to her cousin, Elizabeth as they celebrated their God-given appointments to carry and deliver miraculous babies that would rock our universe for all time?
