And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own
country by another road.
Chasing a star will often bring a change of direction. In the wise men's case, it was necessary to
go back home by a different route in order to avoid Herod. They went home a different way. My
guess is they also went home different people. How about you? Will you let this season change
you and your direction?
(Matthew 2.12
NRSV)
I am convinced that many people do not seize the opportunities life sends because they have the
feeling that such opportunities are not for them. They feel they do not deserve life's richest
blessings--that somehow those blessings are reserved for people who are special. How sad. If
there is one thing the Gospel teaches us, it is that each of us is special--not on our own
merit--but because of God's great love for us. Each of us belongs.
Dear God, yes, I want this season of Christ-mas to change me and my direction. Amen.
