I've known a lot of introspective people who can be alone and really articulate the deep things of their hearts. I am not one of them. But I learned something cool about myself years ago - sometimes, through the words of a song or a character in a movie, I find myself relating to those words or to that character.
Watching A Time for Christmas was no different for me. In the first leg of Bill and Bart's journey, Bill witnesses the announcement of the birth of Jesus, the long-promised Messiah. As the scene draws to a close, Bart scolds Bill, "You saw the announcement of the birth of the Christ-child, the very first Christmas celebration. And all you can think about is sheep?" See, Bill missed the power of what was happening because he couldn't get past the smell of the sheep. I'm a lot like Bill in that. I miss experience God's miraculous work in my life because I'm too busy looking at sheep.
What about you? Is there a character or a particular scene in the show that you related to? Why is that? Share your story with one another.
