Sixteen Candles, Home Alone.
These two movies have a common thread, know what it is? In both flicks, the families were so busy with other things going on that they forgot about the kids. Sixteen Candles, with the other daughter getting married, a foreign exchange student visiting, and extended family coming for the wedding; they forget it's her 16th birthday.
Home Alone again, is about the family getting so caught up in getting ready for a flight that they forget one of the kids.
Luke 2 has one of those stories too, except this was where Jesus is missing. Picture this, his mom and dad are going to a festival and after three days, realize Jesus is missing. Three days.
Then there's you and I. Sometimes, we'll get so busy with life that we too can leave without Jesus. It might be a few days and then "Oh no" I haven't talked with Him in awhile.
About Me
- The Rudder
- So now I'm on my 3rd bout with cancer. I have to admit the treatments are getting old already...Life takes on a completely different perspective. Trials only cause us to overcome and emerge as much stronger individuals of character. Over the years, I bought into the Trump and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" phylosophy of the power of leverage. As a real estate investor,I used that knowledge of the day to build a little empire of over 300 properties, sub-division, and commercial buildings, throw in a car dealership, and a nice stock portfolio etc, bur now it's all gone away. In spite of all the hardship, God is good and all needs are met. I have a great family, my faith is stronger than ever, and friends willing to go through the fire with me. Life is good. These blogs are mostly about stories and situations from the here and now, but also from the there and then of life. But sometimes, it may just be about stuff. If you like it; please leave a comment.
