Simple Times in 2008

One of my favorite Christmas movies is one that that came out in the late 70’s that was the pilot for the Walton’s television show called The Homecoming.

I taped the movie several years ago and watch it each holiday season. The story is about a family growing up in West Virginia during the depression that is very poor waiting on their Father who works out of town to return for Christmas. The weather is turning bad and the family is very concerned if he will arrive.

I love the show and the simple way of life for the Walton’s family. They didn’t have all the stuff and luxuries that we enjoy today but they enjoyed true happiness and contentment. Their faith in God was very evident in their daily life.

Simple times. Family times. Faith in God. That sounds like a life that each of us needs as we look forward to 2008.

Happy New Year!
