Pondering

"But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart," Luke 2:19. According to Webster's she "weighed mentally, considered carefully, meditated, deliberated and reflected" on the things that happened relating to Jesus' birth. There is much thinking when you're expecting a baby but the thinking only begins then. The pondering comes after the birth. Oh, that we would think so carefully about our Savior and consider him our treasure along with all he brings into our lives.
