But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
That word translated “treasure” means “to protect.” Mary defended within her thought world the truth about Jesus. She prized it. She held onto it. She said to herself, “Jesus my Savior, my Messiah, my Lord, is now the center of my life. Everything else will have to adjust around him.”

gold can stay.
the shine on things,
the leaping heart of youthfulness
to stay.
All that glitters isn't gold, they said.
All that glitters isn't gold, they said.
All I want is gold that remains,
the grasping joy of a longed for gift
to last.
I will come forth as gold, Job said.
All I want is gold from the fire,
I will come forth as gold, Job said.
All I want is gold from the fire,
the glowing purity of a tested heart,
the crucible's prize
to win.

Mother's Day and the look of faith
There are lots of reasons I'm thankful for my mother. The best thing she did for me was teach me to look to Jesus. She walked in him as she had come to him- by grace, through faith, looking to him so she could live.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.
