Christmas Memories: The Power of Pondering

Dec 21, 2025    Andy Thomas

Mary's response to the first Christmas offers a powerful example for our busy lives today. While chaos surrounded her with angels, shepherds, and the birth of Jesus, Mary chose to ponder and treasure these moments in her heart. In our fast-paced world where we spend over five hours daily on phones, we've lost the art of quiet reflection. Mary pondered six key things: God's plans, presence, power, peace, promises, and praise. Creating intentional space for pondering allows us to see how God orchestrates circumstances, reveals His presence in unexpected places, and demonstrates His faithfulness in our lives.
