"Wish I Had Never Been Born" That Famous Line

Watching "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" was a real treat for me this season. There were things that were said that got me thinking. One line was about the meaning of Christmas. It's about letting people know how much they are worth but not through material things. 

Next scene was about how much one person (Kermit the frog) makes a great impact in other's lives.  Kermit got to a point where he wished he had never been born (same as "It's a Wonderful Life). His friends were affected by the tragedy that he, Kermit, was not in their lives. Kermit was transported back in time and it was as if he was never born. He witnessed how his absent in their lives affected them.  

I then thought about our "Christmas Wish" outreach we have done two years. I have seen people be transformed from being lost in this dark to pressing into a relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the celebration of this season, right? It's not all about the material things, right?  Yet, I have seen God use the "things" of the world to reach those who need him most. I then thought about friends I have made through this outreach and what may have happened without it. Sure, there are other outreach programs, toy giveaways, and more, but not like Jesus' outreach program. 

Last, I imagined what life would've have been like if I had not been born. I am overwhelmed thinking how my children wouldn't exist today, nor my grandchild. I can't say that I've saved anyone from suicide. I haven't made a huge impact in my community or personal life that is as great as our Presidents. 

What would a world without Marjorie be like?  I don't know and I no longer want to find out. 

I want to live life to its fullest. So, if you hear or have heard me say something crazy, just remember it and laugh. If I do something odd, then cherish it because I may never do it again. 

If I have opened your life have a small piece of heaven, then I am the blessed one and it's because you are special to me. 

One person alone cannot change the world, but one person can make life good. I think that is what Kermit and George Bailey were attempting to share. It's okay that we are not perfect and it's okay to just be me.
