A Hidden Life

 I was watching the movie, A Hidden Life.  It is a story of an Austrian farmer, his wife and three daughters.  In the movie, he is called up to serve in Hitler's army and refuses.  He ends up in jail.  I won't ruin any more of it for you.

There are some beautiful pictures of love, family, and the struggle to do the right thing when so many around you are doing the wrong thing.

One of the lines that I loved in the movie finds him calling out to God and saying, "darkness is not dark to you."

I love that.  The things that we fear, God is not afraid of.  The things that scare us, do not scare God.  God is not afraid in the dark valley.

This is our Father's world.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
