\u201dA Happy Ending”
\nMembers of this congregation know that I have a peculiar, quirky sense of humor. For instance, while the experts name Raging Bull, Casablanca and Gone With the Wind as three of the greatest movies ever produced but I\u2019d rather watch Blazing Saddles, Fargo and The Life of Brian. Allow me to add one more: \u201cThe Griswald Family Christmas.\u201d You know the one-Chevy Chase plays Clark Griswald who tries to make Christmas special even though he\u2019s surrounded by wacky relatives and odd neighbors. The movie is one mis-adventure after another and Christmas appears to be headed for a complete meltdown, but in the end, it has a happy ending and our faith in family is once again restored. Many seasonal films end like that. The Grinch who did his level best to steal Christmas finally came around and Rudolph helped Santa save the day. Even old, bitter Scourge had a change of heart in Dicken\u2019s holiday classic. These wonderful stories with happy endings tug at our heart strings but they do more than that\u2026
\nThey help us believe that maybe, just maybe, there is hope for this frail and fragile world of ours. <\/p>\n

And yet, believing in happy endings seems something of a pipe dream\u2026..Even the most optimistic of us can\u2019t deny or escape the constant barrage of hopelessness and despair that confronts us every day. <\/p>\n

Think about it\u2026Has there been a single day this year when someone wasn\u2019t gunned down, taken down or pushed around. How about the endless litany of drive bys\u2026break ins and shoot outs or the endless and depressing accounts of famine, poverty, illness and injustice. Where is the happy ending in all of that? Maybe Woody Allen was right when he predicted that the world is headed in one of two directions: To despair or extinction.
\nHow\u2019s that for a happy thought on this night of hope and joy?<\/p>\n

And yet deep down, despite all the craziness and chaos, isn’t there something that calls, urges, begs and beckons us to believe that there\u2019s more to life than greed, deception, corruption and violence?
\nDeep down, isn’t there something \u2013 even just a little something\u2013 that says happy endings are more than an illusion or pipe dream when God is involved?<\/p>\n

In part, that\u2019s what this Christmas narrative does\u2026It reminds us that all is not lost.<\/p>\n

Think for a minute about Mary, the mother of our Lord. She was, from what we can tell, a rather average teenager. There was nothing regal or royal about her\u2026.Nothing in her lineage to suggest that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth or destined for greatness. She had little reason to expect that her life would be much different from the other girls living in her village.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what adds to the drama of her story. We can understand her shock when, out of nowhere and without warning, the Angel Gabriel told her that she would conceive and have a son \u2013 God\u2019s Son. And here\u2019s the interesting thing\u2026while she did have a question or two, she surrendered to the incredible news with a simple affirmation: \u201cLet it be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it be\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s her simple response to news that would give most women a heart attack\u2026\u201dLet it be.\u201d And I think she allowed herself to be God\u2019s servant and vessel because deep within her she believed that things do not always have to end in turmoil and tragedy. She understood that when God is involved life can be victorious and glorious-filled with happy, extraordinary, triumphant endings!<\/p>\n

And, you see, there\u2019s a question that lingers within each and everyone of us tonite\u2026Will we believe\u2026.will we dare to believe that the birth of Jesus means the birth of hope and joy within us?<\/p>\n

Like Mary, are we bold enough\u2026faithful enough to believe that because of Christ, happy ends are not just for the Griswalds and the Scrooges of our world but for all of us?<\/p>\n

With family, friends, festive meals and gift giving there\u2019s not much chance that this will be a Silent Night, Holy Night, but know this: The angel of the Lord hovers over you\u2026whispering in your ear: \u201cBehold, I bring you good news.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the news is this: With the coming of Christ, comes the promise of a happy ending. <\/p>\n

May each of you have a blessed and happy Christmas!<\/p>\n

\u201dA Happy Ending” Members of this congregation know that I have a peculiar, quirky sense of humor. For instance, while the experts name Raging Bull, Casablanca and Gone With the Wind as three of the greatest movies ever produced but I\u2019d rather watch Blazing Saddles, Fargo and The Life of Brian. Allow me to add one more: \u201cThe Griswald Family Christmas.\u201d You know the one-Chevy Chase plays Clark Griswald who tries to make Christmas special even though he\u2019s surrounded by wacky relatives and odd neighbors. The movie is one mis-adventure after another and Christmas appears to be headed for a complete meltdown, but in the end, it has a happy ending and our faith in family is once again restored. Many seasonal films end like that. The Grinch who did his level best to steal Christmas finally came around and Rudolph helped Santa save the day. Even old, bitter Scourge had a change of heart in Dicken\u2019s holiday classic. These wonderful stories with happy endings tug at our heart strings but they do more than that\u2026 They help us believe that maybe, just maybe, there is hope for this frail and fragile world of ours. And yet, believing in happy endings seems something of a pipe dream\u2026..Even the most optimistic of us can\u2019t deny or escape the constant barrage of hopelessness and despair that confronts us every day….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-9"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3827"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3829,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3827\/revisions\/3829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
