Eclipse

OK, I hope I don't lose any readers that I may have from this blog by writing about vampires and werewolves...lol...but I do love the Twilight books. Today many twilight fans across the nations will be drooling over the big screen as those two mortal enemies unite to fight together for the life of the one they love. I will be watching the movie of the third book from the Twilight series tonight at 6:45, and I can't wait!

I was just skimming back over the book...I was hoping to read the whole thing again before the movie, but time has not allowed me to indulge in that again. So I skipped to my favorite scene--the tent scene. When Edward has to lay down his hatred and jealousy towards the dog trying to steal the love of his life, so that Jacob can warm up a freezing to death Bella...this is my favorite part. Jacob of course is quite comfortable in the arms of the woman he also loves, and Edward gets to hear his every enjoyable thought with his mind reading powers. It is just too funny. But it is also great that they lay down their differences and for a moment...a brief moment, form a quick friendship.

I was just thinking about this the other day...frustrated about how much I wish the people I love could just all put the past behind them...set aside differences, and just enjoy life together. To be happy. To all get along. Life is too short for all the fighting. We hear this all the time in movies, and music, or in church...but we just never seem to truly grasp the reality of it, and we continue to grumble and stubbornly hold on to hurts and never heal.

We have all been hurt...but it is time to lay our pain at the feet of Jesus and leave it there. Pick up His peace instead and hold onto that. Also, it is time to seek forgiveness if you have done wrong to others. We desperately need to allow the Heavenly Father to heal our hearts in order to move on and be able to live a joyful, abundant life.
