Luke 2:20
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
*      *      *       *       *        *        *
I don't know why that walk home that night has always been a crystal memory for me captured forever like a snow globe.  Not a Christmas night since as passed without my thinking of that moment.  I was a teenager returning home alone after midnight from the services at the church.  The New England winter had already snowed. The paths were clear and the sky was black and I could see the stars through the cloud of my breath frozen in the night air.   I looked up which I didn't often do because I simply had a tendency to look down at the immediate space in front of me. The moment happened. My Christmas moment.  I stopped beneath the stars and above my cold feet.  I looked up and could not help but say out loud, "Imagine my Savior born on such a night."  The words became puffs of snowy air that lingered for a second and then gave way again to the starry sky.  It was an intensely private moment that seems too good to remain private.  So I share it with you.  May you know the miracle of the Christ child born to shepherds and kings and teenagers walking home.   
*      *       *      *       *       *        *
Jesus, may every child at Christmas know a home in you. Amen.
