Mary Did You Know

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. -Luke 2:19
The lowly shepherds were visited by angels. The angels told them that the Messiah had been born and that He could be found in Bethlehem, wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. These shepherds likely traveled some distance from their fields and then searched out the Savior of the world.
What must Mary have thought when this group of shepherds appeared in the stable? When she saw them begin to worship the baby, she must have been further amazed? I'm sure she must have wondered how they knew? Did they tell her that they had been visited by angels? We then read that the shepherds began to spread the word about the birth of the King.
What a task to be the mother of the Son of God. Mary was a faithful, humble servant; yet I'm sure she spent her life in awe as she watched all that took place surrounding her first born Son. As a mother, I hope to also treasure each moment with my own children - watching them grow into the people God has called them to be.
