Light of the World ~ We the Kingdom

 

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. ~ Luke 2:19 NIV

 

When Savannah was an infant – and our only child – we took tons of pictures, not wanting to miss a single moment. At her first Easter egg hunt, she did something cute – as all little kids do – and I missed getting a picture of it. That’s when her godfather said that I won’t be able to get a picture of everything and that somethings I’d just have to treasure.

 

In our morning devotion time, the girls and I talked about Luke 2:19 and why Mary treasured and pondered the events in her heart. Though we’re excited to celebrate Christmas with family and food, on December 26, Christmas will be over. Then what? Savannah said, “That’s when we play with our presents!” 😊 True, but presents get used up and worn out, and then what? Because Christmas is about more than just presents, there’s more to enjoy than just toys.

 

This year let’s be like Mary and not let the season fly by in a flash and then be gone. Instead, let’s store up special moments with friends and family and ponder the miracle of Jesus in our hearts.
