Eliminating cable has caused quite a stir in my Christmas movie watching habits. No more reliable storybook romances ending with a high school sweetheart reunion at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony in Small Town, USA.
Tonight we watched a very non-traditional Christmas movie. NOT Hallmark. This one was not easy to watch. We were not sure about a happy ending. There were a LOT of messy people in this one. Romance was not the answer at the end of the movie!
Were we disappointed in the wild ride movie for the day after Christmas instead of a warm and fuzzy one? Yes! But was there a GREAT lesson to be learned? Absolutely! You see, people ARE messy. We get on our own nerves sometimes, let alone those closest to us! We are all flawed, broken people….BUT GOD! This IS the Christmas story! The reason for the season!

“God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
