Well that last post was pretty serious.
I know it's the season of joy but I was living in this sober state
for at least part of the time leading up to Christmas. I did enjoy
the few days around Christmas very much! I had friends around and
made a traditional Christmas breakfast for my brother and his wife.
That was a very last minute thing. I don't want to end this year
without some joy and gratitude expressed for God's rich goodness to
me. I wish I saw it more and more. I am very blessed to have a cozy
roof over my head and a little bit of community here in my home and
neighborhood. Despite being a little financially strapped at this
point in life, I am so thankful for God's provision.
On Christmas Day I went to see Les
Miserables. The new film adaptation of this classic Victor Hugo story
was outstanding. It was filmed in a way that allowed you to feel the
emotion of the moment with the characters in each scene. The picture
of one life transformed by God's grace shown through another up
against the grace that was rejected even in the face of “the law”
not working for him is such a stark picture. I love that grace. I
want to live in 2013 in that grace.
