Luke 2:19
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
The shepherds had just visited, and it meant a lot to Mary, to "treasure up" this visit and to "ponder... in her heart" what they said. Imagine hearing that holy angels announced your baby's birth with the light of glory! Of course the mother thought long and hard about these supernatural things that happened.
O my Father, thank you for your record of what actually happened on that night. Help me to always treasure up these things and ponder them in my heart, to muse on all that You have done in unfolding Your plan; help me to always be mindful of Your great love-gift to us.
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
