Pondering Christmas...

Luke 2:19-20 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. As we sit here early in the morning, waiting for the noise to begin, what better time to do the Mary thing - meditate on what it all means that Christ has come. May we all find time today to do that. And may we also do the opposite - having seen and heard that the Son of God has come, may we praise and glorify God loudly for all to hear. May there be no doubt that His coming has made a difference in me.
