Like anyone else at Christmas time, after Christmas Eve dinner my family sits down to watch George Bailey try and lasso the moon, Clarence earn his wings, and Mary Hatch put together the perfect honeymoon.
But, I often wonder. There was such a difference in the world when George Bailey wasn't born. Mary grew to be an old maid. Henry drowned at 9, falling through the ice. The druggist, Mr. Gower, was arrested for poisening some little kid. The town was a moonopoly owned by old man Potter- nothing but shacks, bars and houses of ill-repute.
Such a big gap because of one person... and we're missing one-third of this generation. I'm not entirely sure how to explain how overwhelming that idea is.
Food for thought, mostly.
It just amazes me that we'll never be the world we should, because 48 million people have been aborted. As Clarence said, "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, let's also celebrate the gift of life we've been given. And let's use that advantage to defend the right of others to live. It truly is a wonderful life.
May God bless you all this Christmas season.
