Luke 2: 18-19
“18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”
Mary...the young girl...the servant of God. Her heart was full. The words of the angel Gabriel and the shepherds spun in her head as she sat with her newborn near her. I imagine that Mary wondered what lay ahead for her child.
Earlier, Mary and Joseph had decided to trust God. The words of the shepherds must have reinforced this trust. A new life was beginning for them all.
The first Christmas. An infant child. A new mother. A new father.
Words of wonder. A life on earth begun.
