Yesterday



5Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the
tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll
and its seven seals." Revelation 5:5

After almost one year of not going to the movies, we decided to venture yesterday and try a matinee where Elena would be able to walk around and maybe even make a little noise without bothering anybody else. The movie theater was empty enough that we were able to enjoy "The Chronicles of Narnia" with Ben having only to leave for a couple of minutes while she fell asleep. Needless to say, I loved the movie!!! What powerful and inspiring moments to see the Lion so triumphantly taking His righteous victory. I know the story in and of itself is a fantasy, but the analogy was so clear and powerful to me! Especially during this season to remember His birth, His sacrifice and His ultimate victory!! We have an awesome God!!!

Isn't it great?! I'm glad to read that you were able to get yourself out for a few hours! Your choice of activity would have certainly been my preferance also! I, too went with my youth group to see it. We all enjoyed it! My Dad read all of C.S. Lewis's books (children's books) to me and my sister when we were growing up! Plus, I attended a Christian school.... so reading "Prince Caspian", and "The Silver Chair" had been a few of my favorite books during my childhood! I love the picture you added! It blends in very well with the topic of discussion, I must say! Cheers!
