Luke 2:19 (NIV) But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

1) to preserve (a thing from perishing or being lost)  2) to keep within one's self, keep in mind (a thing, lest it be forgotten)

in her

(greek) πᾶς,a {pas}

Mary the Mother of Jesus "preserved - kept the things in her mind so they would not get lost" the things that she had heard and seen on their trip to Bethlehem and the events of Jesus' birth.

As mothers we don't always know how the puzzle of our child(ren) will fit together. If you son is totally God and totally man then the puzzle must be much more complex.

I love this verse because I have treasured so many things in my heart regarding the raising of my son. My God who knows his future past and present knows how these things will work out for his glory.
