“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”
This is exactly what Advent is meant to be!
Treasuring, pondering… a matter for the heart.
What allows you to make this practice a priority in the busy Christmas season?
How do you keep this in the forefront of your mind?
THE NATIVITY
Among the oxen (like an ox I’m slow)
I see a glory in the stable grow
Which, with the ox’s dullness might at length
Give me an ox’s strength.
Among the asses (stubborn I as they)
I see my Saviour where I looked for hay;
So may my beastlike folly learn at least
The patience of a beast.
Among the sheep (I like a sheep have strayed)
I watch the manger where my Lord is laid;
Oh that my baa-ing nature would win thence
Some woolly innocence!
