Mary Treasured It All

"But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart."
Luke 2:19

Reflection

Mary did not understand it all at once and kept it to think about later. Not every answer has to arrive today.

Prayer

Father, teach me to keep Your things in my heart. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What did Mary do with what she saw and heard?
  2. Do you have a memory you like to keep?
  3. Does every answer have to come today?

5-minute activity

Make a memory box for the year: each person adds a note about a special moment. Keep the box to open at the end of next year. Read Luke 2:19.
