Ripples

I love Christmas films- I'm a sentimental old thing. I love scrooged, Albert Finney's sing-a-long scrooge in A Christmas Carol, Muppet Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, Santa Claus the Movie, White Christmas and so many more, but none so much as It's A Wonderful Life. George Bailey, thinking his life has gone very wrong, is given the opportunity, by Clarence the angel, to see how other people's lives would have turned out without him. Turns out George made a lot of difference to a lot of people.
We probably don't really think about the ripples our life makes in the lives of others. Even though we are trying to live "good" lives we may not notice how our lives affect and touch those of others. I hope to live a life that reveals goodness in the world, reflects God and creates the kind of ripple that matters.
