Do you ever see other Christians who live out their faith in a way completely different than yours and wonder if you're doing it right? It's easy to think that maybe you're getting it wrong if you feel comfortable with a differing expression of faith.
Here in Luke 2, we have very different reactions. The shepherds have come to see Jesus and they leave praising God, announcing what they have seen and heard to anyone nearby. It's very public.
Mary, however, treasures all these things, pondering them in her heart. It's very quiet and private.
Neither of these approaches are wrong. They're just different. Each of us is crafted in the image of God, knit together in our mother's wombs -- but we're crafted differently, unique. That's ok and celebrated in the Kingdom of God.
