Hugo




Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton. Internet Movie Database


During Christmas break we went to see this movie. 3D movies always intrigue me. Often I take off the glasses because I want to see what the movie looks like without them. It's blurry!

Hugo the twelve year old boy in the film is gifted at fixing clocks and machines. He soon discovers that people can be fixed too. 


My favorite quote from the movie is;

"If you don't have a purpose you are broken."
I was overwhelmed with this quote.  For those who know me, purpose is everything.  Often I ask, what is the purpose of this event, why are we doing it? Sometimes we can get lost in the midst of busyness, and the day to day routine. We can feel like we do not have a special purpose!

It is easy to feel broken, useless and worn out. 

I have Good News for You!

You and I have a purpose! 
We do Not have to live broken!
God will restore you!

God created each of us with a plan in mine. Jeremiah 29:11
He created us with gifts that must be utilized. I Peter 4:10
We are called to Reflect His glory and make His name Known. Isaiah 26:8

Father, May your purpose be fulfilled in our lives. Reveal it to us that we may walk in it.   Jann


Angry birds


Angry Birds, have you played it?  The object is to use the birds to take out the funny looking green pig/bear type creatures. Each bird has a different advantage. Some are faster when tapped, others drop egg bombs and another little blue bird turns into three birds.  All are propelled through the air by using a sling shot, catapult device. There is a definite strategy to win this game and after many tries one can figure out the exact arch and speed of the birds that are necessary to take out the creatures. 
I am not quite sure why the birds are angry, however, they do know that they have a purpose, a calling, a reason to get into that catapult-Take out the enemy!
Christians too have a purpose!  I wish that I too could be as focused as the Angry Birds!  Our ultimate purpose is to Love God and Love one another!


He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27

How we show our love to God and to others is as different as the birds are. 

Who will you share the Love of God with today?

Father, help me to remember that you have given me a purpose!  I am to love you and to love others.  Guide me to the person you want me to show your love to today.  Jann
