Have you ever been on a long trip? I know, every time I go on a long trip, towards the end I get really homesick. I want go home and sleep in my own bed and relax in the living room. Around Christmas time we often go to be with our extended family such as parents or sibling because we want to be home for the holidays.
There is nothing like the feeling of being home.
And in this verse, the prophet Isaiah tells Israel that they need to return their home. Israel had been living in Babylon for about 70 years and now they were free to return their homes in the land of Israel.
God has given us all a place to call home, And whether you are going to be in your own home, extended family’s home or somewhere else for Christmas we should all say thank you to God for providing a home for us. Take time together as a family this Christmas season to enjoy time together because soon enough everyone is going to be away from home for Christmas.
Activity: Celebrate the Christmas season at home, together as a family by talking about your favorite Christmas memories and activities. Pick one or two family activities to do together during the Christmas season this year.
