A Christmas Poem

T.S. Eliot says it all in a few words

Here is a link to a poem I hope you will read or listen to.  Journey of the Magi, T.S. Eliot

But whether or not you choose to use that link, please attend to the lesson it offers.

The lesson comes through the final lines when, after the wise men follow a star to Bethlehem and make their acquaintance with Jesus:

"We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods. . ."

The lesson: once we are acquainted with our savior; if we have consciously or through some strange osmosis become followers of Christ, we will never be comfortable with who we used to be, never again find contentment with the worship of money or power or sensual delights. We are new and different people and should have new goals and new loves. If not, we're lost and had best attempt to find our way home.

Happy holidays and forever,

Ken
