Did you miss it?? Did you even see what you thought you were going to miss? Do you have a slightest idea of what I’m even talking about right now?
We have seen IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE countless times ever since it came out in 1943 and when I watched it the other night I saw something that I’ve never seen in all the times that I’ve seen it and I don’t know about you, but I think it will make all the difference in the way that I celebrate Christmas this year and more importantly live every day live every day for the rest of my life in all the Christmases and years ahead.
Dare I say that it could just quite possibly be THE TWELVE WORDS of Christmas in addition to The Twelve Days of Christmas?
Did you see it when everybody was losing their minds and when Potter was making the deal of all deals; it wasn’t what was spoken. IT was what was hanging on the wall in George’s office, not so much as a motto, but a personal creed on how to live our lives. . .how to recognize what is important
And BA-BOOM~~ just like that there was a simple sign with the mere 12 words
Ahhhhhhhh. . .the 12 words that unnoticeably hang in the office of George Bailey that he obviously lived his life by. . .
TWLEVE simple words for TWELVE months that one year only last forever and every heartbeat that we have and more importantly~~GIVE!
So you see, here is the question, not just during the season of Lights, but the season of Giving which is not a Season really but a true lifestyle:
Do you live by these words. . . and now, the most important question of all. . .WILL YOU?
It might just be the difference between a Scary Christmas or a Merry Christmas that we always try to hold onto and never
quite can grasp. . .
