Going home for ChnstmaS

Throughout the weeks
that precede Christmas
we wilt often hear the quest
ion-"Are you going ti, site for
Christmas?- U seems Ilk, A
natural enough question set
packed full of emotions The
Christmas season .s that one
time Of year. when families
long to be together, and to
celebrate. People will trai.c1

ones at Christmas.
The Christmas slurs as
recorded in the Gospel of St
Luke is the story about a
family who went home 'In

Today, as another
Christmas celebration
approaches with all , its
glorious music, fun and
gaiety, a decree goes out that
all the world should go. each
to the place where he
belongs. Are you going to

world at Christmas. He chose
to come into the world and to
become- parr of it. He invited
himself into the whole human
predicament, right smack in
the middle of it, where the
pressures mount. and
tempers rise; where people
hate and disappoint and are
hopelessly muddled. where
people 'lose the meaning of it
all. and spin forever on the
merry-go-round of huinan
existence. God comes into it
all • to experience life in all its
fullness.
The Christmas carol says it
plainly: "Love came down at
Christmas". Love.
came down - the embodiment
of all that love can be; the
example and the experience
are one. The experiment is
over ; in Christ. God came

the spirit of that love that
came into the world in that
first Christmas. The family
doesn't need your gifts as
much as they. need YOU.
This is the one place where
you are irreplaceable. There
will only be one of you there.
It is the one place where no
one else can take your place.
There may be other areas of
life, where you are important

are essential for some
operation; but it is only in the

be. But, it is so much
different in the home. Home
is the place where we used to
dream; where the whole
world was our stage. and we
could set our own goals. It
was the one place where
things were simple • before
the world became

complicated with it.
The Gospels testify that
God is at home in his world.
