“But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.”
— Luke 2:19 (ESV)

Wow! What blessed words to read the morning after Christmas. So, Christ has come. Now what? Despite the celebrations, the gifts, time with friends and family, church… what now? The excitement and joy at Christ coming to dwell among us should permeate each of my days. Therein lies the challenge. As I reflect, it seems that Christmas is in some ways this year a “New Years Day”… a time to reflect and ponder how to go forward from here in a way that is more honoring of all that He has done for me.
