Luke 2

19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often.
51 Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart.

All the mystery with the conception…the ‘hoopla’ of the birth what with shepherds and wisemen……His teaching ‘religious teachers’…..Mary kept all these things in her heart.

Just struck with THAT this morning. All this unexplainable in human terms happening in and around and to her….God helping her to ‘handle’ them….I keep a lot in my heart now, stuff I don’t have words to explain. I watch people around me in crap unbelievable, experience You and Your love and guidance and GRACE ..... that blows me away and IF it’s not You then I don’t know what the heck it is…so in my heart is such AWE.
Thank You Father for giving me eyes to see and ……just THANK YOU.

Those are exactly the two verses that stuck out to me this morning. As a mom, I want to do that. Through all the anxiety of my kids' special needs, I want to keep the important things in my heart.

  • Be more spontaneous and outrageous, loving with an abandon that isn't about me.
  • Be who I am even if she is crazy and weird
  • Do a good deed for a stranger
  • Don't be afraid to dream
  • Enjoy more sunrises.
  • Enjoy my husband and family.
  • Everyone has a story, listen to them.
  • Find a dreaming friend
  • Go on a picnic with Dan
  • Go snorkeling again.
  • Hear You
  • Help someone
  • Hike/walk regularly
  • Learn to live more and more SIMPLE
  • Learn to live without 'blinking'
  • Learn to love, really love
  • Learn to say I'm sorry w/o a 'but'
