And Mary Pondered

"And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."

Luke 2 is a good place to start. A place to see the arrival of a Gift so exquisite that it left shepherds, kings and Mother each wondering, and asking, and pondering. 

And the grasping of it may mean changes are afoot! It could mean becoming a person who suddenly stops thinking only of himself. Or exchanging a tortured nightmare for the chance to sleep in 'Heavenly Peace'. 

For the Gift is not momentary, but life on infinite terms.

It can be grasped. It has been. To some it may seem ancient years since the Holy Night took place in Bethlehem. But eternity sees that moment as though it were Now, and Then. The angels, after all this time, have never stopped their singing.

Meanwhile, your Gift awaits. And it is well worth pondering.

See you along the Way!

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

Till He appeared, and the soul felt its worth.
