Boxing Day
Luke 2:16-20 NIVUK
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
The gift of Jesus is a gift to be treasured, brought often to mind and meditated upon, like Mary, and to be celebrated like the shepherds.
Take some time today to step out of the activity of the season to reflect on what it means for us to have been given Jesus and to give thanks.
