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. Luke 2:19-20 (ESV) When Jesus’ birth was completed, the moment in history that the heavenly host earnestly waited for, the shepherds returned to their sheep, and Mary pondered. However, all of their lives would never be the same because of their experience. As our Christmas celebrations are over, it is fair to ask ourselves how spending the time yesterday celebrating Christ’s birth will affect us today. Have we returned to our normal way of life glorifying and praising God? How does that look in our lives? Are we spending time pondering or thinking of the significance of God’s greatest gift to us? We often need reminders of what is important, and the pause at Christmas is a great time to make adjustments that reflect what life is really about. I pray we do not miss this opportunity. |
