The boy, Jesus, has been difficult to locate following his family's trip to Jerusalem. His staying in Jerusalem borders on disobedience to his parents, Joseph and Mary. Still, when they locate him Jesus goes with them and is obedient to them. And Mary treasures all of these things, including both disobedience and obedience in her heart. (Luke 2:51b)
Earlier, after Jesus' birth Mary ponders many things in her heart--the baby's birth, the visit of the shepherds, and the things they reported concerning angels' visitation.
God, enlarge my heart both to ponder and to treasure Christ Jesus in my heart.
