It's A Wonderful Life

It has been so long since I posted, that they changed the blogging website on me!  I am finding it more difficult to keep up with all the changing technology.  Hopefully, this will improve things and not make them more complicated.  The last post was done by Emily, so it has been a really long time since I have kept up.  Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we are into December with all of the Christmas "stuff" that happens.  I have been busy working on our house in Columbia.  In fact, it should be done this weekend!  Mike is busy working away at our "punch list".  We are praying that it will sell quickly and we can start moving on from our past in Columbia.  While we have many, many fond memories of our time in that house, it is definitely time to start making new memories!  Please pray with us that it will sell soon. Today I watched one of my most favorite Christmas movies, "It's A Wonderful Life".  I alway want to see it year after year, and I fear my family gets tired of it.  It is old, black and white, and long.  I agree, but even with all that going against it, there is just something amazing about the movie that makes me want to see it over and over again.  In fact, I alway seem to shed a tear or two, even though I know what will happen.  It really is a remarkable story about how everyones life is valuable and important, how much we impact each other's lives, and how even when we are at our lowest point, God hears our prayers and sends help (okay, not always in the form of Clarence Oddbody, but in some way!)  How can anyone not enjoy that?  Also, I love that it is a period piece and enjoy the clothes, sets, and scenery of the time.  Here is a clip for your enjoyment.  I sure hope you get an opportunity to watch it again this year, like I did!  Merry Christmas!
