I’m so excited that there is a fairly new live version of my favorite Christmas song, sung by Dar Williams. It’s about literally welcoming people to the table, which is my favorite image of what the Kingdom of God is like.  If we can’t welcome those who don’t believe exactly what we do, especially at Christmas, then we’re kinda missing the boat trying to be more like Jesus. 

May you welcome and be welcomed this Christmas, and may you find warmth from the cold as you gather with friends and family at the table.
