The other day I was day dreaming as most of us do without really thinking about it. My husband and I were watching the old classic movie "White Christmas" Loving all the singing and dancing which we don't see very often today.
Oh I know there is dancing with the stars and other programs on t.v. that interview upstarts that want to make it "Big"so they entertain us while people from everywhere cast their votes to see who makes it .But this old movie produced in those early years of Broadway musicals filled with beautiful romantic and exiting singing and dancing depicting an era of days gone by that we all are sadly missing today. Missing you may ask? Yes because these kind of movies and great epic productions filed us with hope love moral goodness and values we seldom see today.
While watching White Christmas with all its color rhythm acting and just plain innocent (Non-Sexual ) fun and entertainment we see unfolding a story taking place in the hearts of a group of Army soldiers who fought together during world war 2. Wanting to show appreciation and thanks to their retiring Major by coming together in a special way and putting together a Christmas production in his honor showing their love for all his devoted years in service. This is played out in romantic " love and war" antics between Bing Crosby and Rosmary Clooney. "All in all" a movie leaving you with a fuzzy feeling and warm glow inside with it's wonderful ending a Christmas picture perfect "Beautiful White Christmas" as "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas was being sung by Bing Crosby and an elaborate cast of stars..
As the movie finished their was a tear for two fell as Doug and I enjoyed and reminisced thinking about past Christmases. This movie about giving back to the good old retiring Major whom they loved and respected dearly amidst a vicious and demanding war time. He was rough and tender toward his men because he was responsible for the safety of their life.
Can you recall people you have met and spent special times with people you don't see any more because you've lost track of time being" too busy". They could be family they could be friends.
Take a moment to send a note today or a card or maybe a call or a lunch date . But just follow through.
Friends. "Good friends" are truly hard to find. Never! never be so tired or busy for people in your midst who have been special in your life.. Some of my friends are gone or have moved away. Some I haven't heard or seen in a decade but we still are in touch though we are many miles away. They have warmed my heart with thoughts of their special kindnesses and steady love and friendship. Some have gone to be with the Lord and they were in the prime of their lives. We were so young when they said their goodbys to this present world. Wishing we could still have good times together like we used to, but relieved and filled with joy they have entered through "Heavens Gate" "With Our Lord forever "
Don't wait! see those friends for a special monthly date. If you stop making them feel important to you your friendship will "surely" die. Keep in touch any way you can. Keep in mind an "e-mail" is "Not" the best way to unite with friends unless they are a plane trip away. We all need to see others face to face spending time with the hearts of one another. This is the way God intended it to be. And don't just remember them when you want a favor. This can be hurtful. If it's been so long you feel guilty just say I'm sorry and get back together soon! Reuniting and mending long lost gaps and spaces can be filled once again by doing it! and not putting it off.
Their is an etiquette in how to keep a friend. Along with Prayer * Do unto others as others would do unto you* . These are vitally Important guidelines.
It will be a long time till Christmas comes again with gifts and cards in the mail. "Now is the time" to give the special gift or send a note reminisce and have "one on one" by making time for your special loved ones and special friends in your life. If God is reminding you through a song or movie or in your special Secret prayer times make the steps needed to rekindle and not just to continue to pray for them. "God Is Speaking" So listen to Him and "Do It" Or they will soon begun to fade away.
" It's Gods way to help us not to forget to "Love one Another" If we love God we will desire to Love others in " His Precious Love"
1John 4;7-8
"Beloved Let us Love one another"
