Well here we are, just 4 days away from Christmas. I'm truly looking forward to the service on Christmas eve and then worship on Christmas morning. Pretty awesome to think that Christmas falls on Sunday this year. It will be interesting to see how many people are here on Sunday morning because of it being Christmas. I know that many will be out of town with family and friends. That's okay because it always good to be home for Christmas if at all possible.
For my family it is hard to say what "home" for Christmas means. Where is "home" anyway? Is it at our house (which actually is the church parsonage)? Is it at my parents in Marion county with my brothers and their families? Is it at a central location in the state with my wife's family? And what about my kids? What does "home" for Christmas mean to them?
Well this year "home" will be in Las Vegas, Nevada. That's where the middle son and his wife live and on the 26th, my wife and I and our other 2 sons are heading west for some time together as a family. For that's what's really important for us. Not so much the location, but the fact that we can be together. That doesn't happen very often for us and that time is precious so whether it's Vegas, Salina, Marion, Leoti - wherever; home is where our family is.
So I pray that wherever you call home, you will have a very Merry Christmas and a most blessed New Year.
Signing out for the year 2005 - P.R.
