This
time of year reminds me of the classic movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Do you remember the story of George Bailey
in the movie? He wasn’t happy with his
life because he felt discouraged and didn’t feel he had met up to his
potential. He goes to a bridge to end
his life, and he ends up jumping in to save Clarence, his guardian angel
(Clarence had been sent down to earth to earn his wings by helping George). Clarence shows George what life would have
been like without his life of service at the Building and Loan that George ran.
How his wife never would have married and his children never would have been
born. George is reminded of the important ways he has touched so many people in
the town.
