I've always loved this concept in Scripture -- that we receive the good news into which angels long to look. We take it for granted, because we've heard the good news proclaimed so many times, but it's a precious, precious gift, and we ought to treasure it each time we hear it. It's not one taken lightly, for the prophets spent their time and energy inquiring carefully as to the heart of the message. So may we receive it and give it the consideration it deserves -- to invest our time and attention into it, pondering it like Mary treasured the Good News that was delivered to her.
