Learning from Movies

There is an immense amount of important teachings to learn from a well-done motion picture.  Tonight, I watched an old movie, "The House of Spirits."  In many movies and books, the actual stories and side stories woven into the plot are absorbing but serve to highlight what the main character learns, sometimes after a lifetime of mistakes.  The main character in this movie learned that the most important thing in life is family and love, and also forgiveness.  All power and achievements are as ashes in your mouth if you have not learned this.

Lord, we know we have to work and make a living to support ourselves and those we love, but help us take time and make time for family and love, and for you, too, Lord, on this day, your day, Sunday.
