Christmas has arrived. And for the first time in our lives, Alberto and I find ourselves far from our families. We are both melancholy, feeling the longing for home and the comfort of the known.

Then, one family after another open their homes to us, sharing not only a meal but the more precious gifts of friendship, companionship, joy. One was even on Christmas Eve.

Cars start honking their horns in support.

Gifts of panettone and wine are given along the road.

Welcoming smiles and hugs abound.

Simple acts of kindness that we remember to this day.

And although it’s easy to stay with the interpretation we gave those events back then – that they were demonstrating the Great Love that walked with us – today, under the loving gaze of A Course in Miracles, we are invited to go one step further on the journey.

Every beautiful moment, every gesture of generosity, every table lovingly and abundantly set were invitations to remember a Home we have never truly left;

A call from the Loving to the Beloved to come Home;

Love calling to Itself;

To return from fear through the open door that Love holds open for us, always.

We have never been separate from Home.

Shining beneath every appearance, patiently waiting to be recognized, Love – the Christ – remains.

Our deepest longing has always been for this.

Offered, as always, with love,

Mony and Alberto
