I carry on with my family christmas morning we would
00:24:41.393 --> 00:24:44.596
Christmas morning we would ready to tear into the gifts
00:24:44.730 --> 00:24:45.330
Ready to tear into the gifts and my dad would stop us.
00:24:45.464 --> 00:24:45.998
And my dad would stop us. we'd hear a voice hold up, open
00:24:46.131 --> 00:24:48.967
We'd hear a voice hold up, open the bible, sit down in the
00:24:49.101 --> 00:24:49.668
The bible, sit down in the chair, read from the chapter as
00:24:49.802 --> 00:24:52.871
Chair, read from the chapter as a kid i would groan because i
00:24:53.005 --> 00:24:53.705
A kid i would groan because i wanted to open my air jordans.
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.473
Wanted to open my air jordans. you know what i would now as an
00:24:54.606 --> 00:24:56.842
You know what i would now as an adult it's like those are the
00:24:56.975 --> 00:24:57.676
Adult it's like those are the moments it's like that's what
00:24:57.810 --> 00:25:00.245
Moments it's like that's what does it look like to come home
00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:01.046
Does it look like to come home for christmas not just a
00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:01.680
For christmas not just a physical homecoming but most
00:25:01.814 --> 00:25:03.849
Physical homecoming but most importantly a homecoming of the
00:25:03.982 --> 00:25:04.616
Importantly a homecoming of the heart where it's like you know,
00:25:04.750 --> 00:25:07.452
Heart where it's like you know, i wrote this the song come home
00:25:07.586 --> 00:25:08.253
I wrote this the song come home for christmas in the book kind
00:25:08.387 --> 00:25:10.656
For christmas in the book kind of out of this feeling of like
00:25:10.789 --> 00:25:11.423
Of out of this feeling of like why do i have to grow up?
00:25:11.557 --> 00:25:14.493
Why do i have to grow up? do i have to grow out of the
00:25:14.626 --> 00:25:15.494
Do i have to grow out of the wonder or do i and i return
00:25:15.627 --> 00:25:18.297
Wonder or do i and i return should be the question that
00:25:18.430 --> 00:25:18.997
Should be the question that should be question let
00:25:19.131 --> 00:25:19.598
Should be question let ourselves write and so what if
00:25:19.731 --> 00:25:22.201
Ourselves write and so what if i ask the lord to make
00:25:22.334 --> 00:25:22.935

Struggling. one of the things that i love
00:25:46.859 --> 00:25:47.759
One of the things that i love about reading through the
00:25:47.893 --> 00:25:48.393
About reading through the christmas story is the
00:25:48.527 --> 00:25:50.629
Christmas story is the different names given to our
00:25:50.762 --> 00:25:51.330
Different names given to our savior and all throughout

Savior and all throughout scripture.
00:25:52.097 --> 00:25:54.867
Scripture. and one of the things i felt
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:55.701

Names giving given to god throughout the bible a reminder
00:25:59.605 --> 00:26:02.774
Throughout the bible a reminder that for everything we need
00:26:02.908 --> 00:26:06.178
That for everything we need there is one who will provide
00:26:06.311 --> 00:26:06.979
There is one who will provide it for everything we like.
00:26:07.112 --> 00:26:07.646
It for everything we like. a one in whom we can find it.
00:26:09.348 --> 00:26:10.315
A one in whom we can find it. so if you're lonely this
