If Mary and Joseph didn't say yes, we wouldn't have Christmas as we know it now. Of course, God could have done it another way, but Mary and Joseph would have missed their chance to enter into this amazing story.
Surely Mary and Joseph didn't know how their decision would have huge consequences. Yes, really huge. Talk about a decision that cuts across generations and assumes global consequences.
That is also true with us. We will never know how our "yes" or our "no" affects people and history itself.
History isn't something that happens outside of us. We are all contributors to it, for better or for worse, In fact, I think it should be called "our story".
