HOMESICK

Snippet

Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home.  ~Carol Nelson

Scripture

And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NASB

The snow's coming down

I'm watching it fall

Lots of people around

Baby please come home

The church bells in town

All singing in song

Full of happy sounds

Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"

But it's not like Christmas at all

'Cause I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree

I'm watching them shine

You should be here with me

Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"

But it's not like Christmas at all

'Cause I remember when you were here

And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way

I'd hold back this tear

But it's Christmas day

Please

Please

Please

Please

Baby please come home

Sentence Prayer

Hound us, Lord, with affection and conviction until we renounce all lesser things to follow you.  Help us see that in giving up the fool’s gold of the world, we open ourselves to heavenly treasure that lasts forever. Amen ( Common Prayer A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals Pg 53)
