Departed

. . . they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. (Matthew 2:9-10 NKJV)

Day 22 of 25 Days of Christmas.  The wise men, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. All far from home at Christmas. Especially Jesus, separated from his Father and all that was familiar to him. May God be close to those who are away from family this Christmas.

Pray today for those who cannot be home this Christmas - troops, missionaries, medical personnel, hospital and nursing home patients, assisted living residents and caregivers, international students. May Jesus be their source of joy - exceedingly great Joy!
      Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
      When Thou came to earth for me;
      But in Bethlehem's home was their found no room
      For Thy holy nativity.
      O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
      There is room in my heart for Thee.
      (Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne, vs. 1)
