"But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."
Good morning Abba, Good morning Jesus, Good morning Holy Spirit,
Tis' the season to remember, to ponder, to let our hearts feel... to love. So many "joyous" sounds of Christmas fill our homes, cars, work spaces... our hearts. In the early hours are moments when being quiet allows our hearts time to listen, feel, and go beyond the world into what we "glimmer" as truth.
2020 has not been a year of kindness. I wonder... did Mama Mary feel peace when she heard what was done to the children by Herod and those he commanded (Matt 2:16-18)? Or, did her heart feel peace when she held Heaven as her child gently snuggled close to her heart?
Just for today... take time to ponder... to seek...
- What is love? How do we recognize the purity of love?
- When you look into a mirror... do you see love in your eyes? Do you see love in other's eyes?
- God's word gives us an entire book of truth... have you read it (Proverbs)?
- Is our truth real or an illusion? How do we discern the truth? At a time such as this, should we be celebrating what the "news" considers truth? Pain comes from the thorns that wound us... yet those thorns also have the blooms of a rose.
- Hope... what does it mean? What does hope uncover within a heart that beats the very life we live?
- If the first gift of Christmas was a baby... why do we spend so much on "things" and so little on the value of each other?
- If we can "feel" the beauty of the song, "Mary Did You Know?," why can we not recognize that which steals, kills, and destroys the hope of our nation... the love of each other... or the joy of our creation?
- What are we doing with this, our, gift of life? Are we seeking our own entertainment and that which the world offers? Or, is there one small way we could celebrate the life we are given by using our strength and talents to offer a touch of kindness or forgiveness as we were created to do?
- What, oh, what will we say when... we come face to face with God's only begotten son? Will we fall to our knees? Or run into His arms?
This isn't a season to enjoy and go back to daily "stuff," this is a season to celebrate just how Great love is. To celebrate the Joy of each other. To embrace the magnitude of Hope in our Lord's promises...
Come... let us adore Him... together we can lead each other and our future generation...
Mary did you know... that you would be the one chosen to be our Heavenly mother... our role model... our understanding of truth...?
Blessings...
