Old Movies

I like old movies. The kind that were made in the 40's and 50's. Those kind of movies just show regular people in good life's trying to make the best with what they got. There is no need for a lot of action, or inappropriate material. It shows the that having a good family, a peaceful life, and a thankful heart is some of the only things you need to live at the brim and the best of life.

It kind of reminds me of the song "Our House" where the family is chaotic in activity around the house but you can tell they love each other just to be with each other.

Nowadays movies think they have to entertain audiences by huge action, or showing every one going through a mid life crisis, or lost youth, or seducing attractions, or gore and horror. Why can't movies just show that a simple life with just the right things as family, the Lord, and doing things you love is more than enough to get by. I am not saying that old movies show everything as perfect. It shows that people do have struggles in life and that is part of life, to struggle. But it also shows that if you just weather the storm, have faith, and fight with everything you got, you'll be alright. "Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for". I also know that old movies can be kind of awkward and boring with out of date jokes, weird timing on lines, and really draw out silences. But all in all it gives you a good feeling that the simplest life's are actually the ones that give the most fulfillment to a person. I like old movies :)

It's a Wonderful Life

You Can't Take it with You

Look Forward, Not Back

Sometimes i miss they way things were. It is funny how it is manly the little things. I miss laughing at school with friends. I miss singing in choir. I miss sitting on a wall eating lunch with my friends. I miss having a structure to the day. I miss not being confused. I miss talking about colors.

But i believe that those things had to pass for a reason. Chapters in life end so that others can be written. I am sad about the things that are past but exited for the things to do ahead. I am exited to learn, to grow closer to my Heavenly Father, to love life more, and much more. Sometimes i think i am just lost and that the Lord has neglected me. But i know better. The excitement that i get from the future is a blessing itself and that i have so much light around me now, maybe i have just neglected it. I think the Lord wants me to see and appreciate the joys i have now and that will bring me more joy in itself. He is there, i know He is.

I have heard that when you go through trials and feel alone, the Lord is actually closer to you then than most times. I trust in Him. He will lead us right, don't give up. We'll make it.
