“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” ~ Isaiah 55:12 (NIV) ~ TREASURING CHRISTMAS In the Christmas story, I like how Luke used the word “treasure.” “All who heard the shepherds’ story expressed astonishment, but Mary quietly treasured these things in her heart and often thought about them.” ~ Luke 2:18-19 (TLB) ~ The King James says, “But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.” It means that year after year she thought about the events leading to the first Christmas — how she was chosen to participate in God’s story of salvation. How God brought everything together. How she witnessed firsthand that — like the angel had said to her many months before — “Nothing is impossible for God.” (Luke 1:37) Mary’s example is good one to follow. We should remember to treasure these things and think about them often. There are so many lessons to be learned from the nativity story. continued
