Favorite Christmas Movies

Nothing says Christmas like a poor family in Asia, getting a water buffalo is like getting a farm tractor pulled while working getting the stand of the market. A water buffalo opened. More importantly, it opens the door to talk about Jesus and nothing says Christmas better than that.

This special Christmas edition way you could call it Christmas or in its own way. It's it's New Year's eve EBV PVV seven. Yeah, that's correct, you know that's right.

Now all buddy buddy is all Merry Christmas everybody were going to do a fun show today really talking about some of our favorite Christmas clips and movies from our favorite clips. It's going to be just talk about that honestly were to skin and set it up first in your talk a little bit about a bonus check. I think I'm okay and show so were talking about Christmas vacation and Clark is really looking forward to this Christmas bonus.

It's like what he wanted for Christmas night was a carryover from last week's what you want for Christmas shows the Clark you know he has an expectation that's not met and you can't hear the results that we talk about we come back there.

They didn't know was not met last week, I will delivery for Clark yesterday fell between the seats. Sorry. Merry Christmas and confirm your reservation at my company's bonus support all the way to Lamar to tell you I'm putting in a swimming pool. Sorry little short with everyone lately bonus to make sure the grounds are designed to lay out the money in advance.

Those little miracle arrive at my account to cover the check I wrote as I flipped over flyball down here to help us dedicate one year membership in the jelly of the month club is the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. That is not think part of the deal is, as I think sometimes we expect the pool we get jelly a month club you know you know in her underwear and socks instead of you know the light latest toy or whatever. Exactly why we play I like about that clip honestly as you listen to it and we didn't. I didn't think the right click to start the show as it was none of our first selections left over from my left was Christmas left to make something from left over that right thing I like about that clip. Honestly, it's it sounds more like a normal American family right because you get some of the in-laws like you like to be asked laws that are in there and Yeah I love you and I open it a crime to strangle that you survived that's way, namely, his cousin Eddie and her family. If you know it's probably you.

If you don't feel like you have one you are what Christmas did you know that's all you get your actual clip since I wanted that's what I was okay yeah I just want to make sure it might.

So on this home alone to watch more Christmas movies and I do most of the time in a bin that hit home alone will first and then this past week I was home alone. To that I forgot how good of a movie that was.

This is where Kevin sits down with the pigeon lady in Carnegie Hall and there, talking about some just let heart truly what what this ministry is about is the human heart, and you know a Christmas to me is about us getting our hearts back and this is just a powerful clip you hear so many friends so I can keep a possible industry see me if I wasn't positive family is everyone fight for position that he wants to be seen. I wasn't always like what we like job, home, family, and I left for me from my chance to be dumped coming on again. I run away from us. My heartbroken contestant person down size school bus broke second box feelings chance out of the mouth of babes really powerful letter wisdom. There is a 61 you know how Jesus came for the broken hearted.

I have to think if we asked Jesus what he wanted for Christmas he would say conversations like that.

Interactions like that where somebody goes after somebody's broken heart like we read one of the clarified impression to set it up at the beginning of the show. Obviously, the need. The season is about Jesus and were not saying that it's about these movies at Jesus but when you talk about Jesus as a whole lot more to it. It's a lot of people well to others. Well it's your Kevin reaching out to the lady. No one sees right right you know love is little common in there that you I think I'm the pigeon of my family to write because I think we all feel that way you know and so there's there's a whole lot more to Christmas. Jesus wants us to do than just go to church on Sunday.

Sadly at its it's more that way around the Christmas season today because people expect of family around them and when they don't have it. That's why we need to reach out like that. Since were kind of in a home alone and his spirit is going to pass it around. No get a microphone over there Caleb this is your clip for you and Eli writing so you want to set it up or displaying or having Linda SL as this is my sons Caleb and Eli. Sorry about that.

This is the home on one trailer. Most people probably seen this movie, but we just go and play the trailer and will talk about it afterwards. McAllister left on the occasion of John family comedy without the family, what is it about you.

Will and Wendy Kevin right it's all about the venture you get to defend your home on your own terms is didn't eat pizza and stay up late and put on after shaving at the burn that is an awesome part about the movie right because I think that's one thing that all kids watching that movie they can grab from it, but many I have a different reason why we love the homeland series.

What is at the gas growing up we used to go to our name on top of those who lived in Indiana and one of my favorite movies to watch while we were there was home alone whether be one, two or three. We would watch it and when you have to be Christmas time and it just reminds us of our Unfortunately Passed Away in 2015, but I Think It Just Really Brings Me Back to My Childhood and It Makes Me Think about Those Happy Times with My Double Yen and Watches so Much That I Even Got Called Kevin by Nana That Kinda Became a New Name for Me. You and Talk about New Names, but Now It Does Bring Us Both Back to Our Childhood, Even to the Point Where Last Night Were Just Sitting around and We Go. You Know What Movie Do You Want to Watch Is Christmas Time and We Want Someone. It's Just One of Those Things That Always Brings Us Together As a Family and Something That Will Always Share Because of That. Yeah. So My Favorite Memories about Dallas Watch and That Is to Watch a Thousand Times and Left Us His Heart. Every Time They Live Stated It Is Such a Good Thing in Your Point Venture.

I think we think it's super slow Mo where so honestly the reason I love that I really do is that quite often. At Christmas we would go on family adventures and when I had my kids were small, being Chrysler dealer. We had a minivan with video thing in the back and I would take my kids like it, one in the morning to wherever we are gone so they would sleep you had put the movie in and so I would always put in a course Christmas time how the Grinch stole Christmas and then I would listen that song and ball like a baby. Yeah, we got a witness at first because it just it really it speaks to my heart in so many ways like you you you romanticize what Christmas was when you were a kid and you're asking that very question. Did Christmas change, or is it me right and and fascinatingly as I continued my walk with Christ. It it's really something I have to press into every year, and I actually listen to that song very specifically every year so that I can get my can I find it you know that way. That song ends. If you ever listen to it. It's it it it comes back. You know I found you I find you Christmas and it has to do with when you can find that feeling back and and and feel like you found the Christ in Christmas after all his names in the deal. And so it's interesting. Neither Mary Lou nor the Grinch ever went looking for the one whose name happens to be in the word that she is looking for but but he's there and it's fun. Sure, through Christ in it so I can't make fun wow that's a good strategy license for Jesus right about like an idiot anyway.

Are you still can.

I still can't live in plenty of time left of the hardest parts can be week. He told Jim no on long bumps. Listen to this, it could happen that could happen forward in the vein of kind of that type of deep dive on the play. My clip it's from love actually going to go ahead and get up and say something about it is going to make sure we set this up correctly right yeah I want everyone to imagine Sam right now sitting in his lounge here at the house right glass of wine in his hand to use the but sitting there with the tissues right watching Hallmark yeah I can see that this is in this movie doesn't to me.

Actually, it is not your traditional it's not a Christian Christmas please movie from the standpoint it's got some stuff and it is not good for kids right is from England so there's a lot of different words I use over there that we find very offensive here that they don't find as offensive over there and so it's full of a lot of that and play the clip. It's the intro to the movie it's from love. Actually anyone come back and talk about what I really like that I get daily with state of the world. I think about the arrival stated he throw Apple general opinion starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed see that seems to me that love is everywhere often is not dignified on his wedding. It's always that fathers and sons as husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

When the planes hit the twin towers as far as I know none of the phone calls, messages of casework that they will messages of love. If you look for it. I got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

The reason for me if you if you'd asked my kids probably what my favorite Christmas movie of all time would be would be Christmas vacation, and that's when it makes me laugh and I do. I love to watch it it it just has a lot of fun for me but this is one that I won't miss any year since I found it about four or five years ago is because it brings you back to the place of, but it's about love.

It's either the day it's about love. It's not about presence. It's not about all these other things. It's about loving each other well in this movie have a lot of stories of people learning to love each other well, you know, even some real quirky ones you know the rock star and his manager know that they find that their friendship is something that they currently learn to cherish if you been friends for so many years and so for me it's it's a great reminder going into the busyness the hustle and bustle of the holiday getting distracted on a lot of things. It brings me back to this this message of it's about love. At the end of the day and the greatest of these is love. Right exactly.

And so again it's not your, it's not family movie if you're offended by certain words, don't throw down there some nudity in it. I just look past and just go on for the meaning of the movie right and it is all about that and I really do enjoy watching Eddie to do very much that I get to watch Christmas vacation that's coming up this week sometime before for New Year's so moving back to Robby when he hears the Charlie Brown is actually Rodney's favorite, but I did want to if you if you subscribed our daily bread. They mention that if you ever watched Charlie Brown's Christmas is a spectacular thing that theirs thrown into the movie that if you watch Linus as he's going to quote Luke chapter 2 here when he gets to the part where the angel says be not afraid Linus for the first time in the history of Charlie Brown drops his blanket, and you can watch him uses two hands to describe the rest of Luke chapter 2 we read that this week and in devotions and I went back and watched the clip and then clipped it, but it turned out right. Rodney was your favorite before we ever started but was contemplated in the let just do it of thinking is she's on is in keeping Christmas mailed it. I mean who doesn't love Snoopy and the peanuts anyway.

But then when with what's producers, greater financial needs like basically I'm going to get that in there.

Are you not going up.

What it wanted Jim we all get to live with Marilyn out. Listen to that worst thing is I don't know if it ever gets to see it on TV anymore comments on YouTube. You can see it is, is not on his nonregular seat.

It's really great for me for the lesser like the chosen. I won't going to name names, but you know this. This year Christmas with the child cements Joseph and Mary were looking at each other. Ashley was actually bearing Jesus and I looked at her and said what he trains will tell you was be not afraid, is that she was actually in labor and it's really beautiful scene of no but Mary didn't drop her blanket on the same sheet of its classic stuff to think wow because of what Jesus did, think how many fears I mean how many fears I don't have is if you dropped yeah especially my feelings are that you raised up severe drop in some clear and honest. Didn't like the chosen name the names of going to play the shortest group we have is we have time for, and some of the him plate, looking back and talk about the Jesus wept Christmas movie growing up and watch Frosty the Snowman.

I threw that in there because I honestly believe it's a happy birthday. It didn't dawn on me that it was frosty's birthday is okay to determine Jesus's birthday and then I realize obviously it's actually his birthday now but I think you're such a great reminder whether things that they threw into some of the shows you back when it wasn't his. I don't know. I don't know the word I can even choose to use for it, but had to go through a lot of different strainers on the air filter. Still others think yeah that strange yet. It's something that filter strainers at Canada's same thing yet it works colander. Maybe you know I don't know you guys anyway. It's something that just reminded me of okay every time I watch it was about Jesus birthday even as a kid you kinda got that even during Frosty the Snowman all the stuff that went with it. We know what the reason for the season is just enjoying it, but there is so much more. Jesus is calling us to love each other well, love strangers well to reach out to ones in need all the things and things because year-round is especially we do that. Look for opportunities to give to others participated drives the types of things this season. 30.org March 31 through April 3 March 31 through April 30.
