Love Actually 

[The President of the United States (Billy Bob Thornton) and the Prime Minister of Great Britain (Hugh Grant) had just concluded there private meeting about affairs between the US and England.]

I have mixed reviews about the film in general, but this scene is rather heroic.  It is nice, even in a movie, to see good politics.  It was amazing for the Prime Minister to stand up to the President.  Often times we are viewed in awe and fear since we have been a super power for quite some time.  Without getting into politic discussions though it is true that the only way to stand up to a bully is to show strength.  This clip does indeed show the Prime Minister showing strength by standing up to the President, and doing so with comedy.  

You might ask though, is only to standing up to bullies the point of this clip?  And no, is the obvious answer, but there is a deeper meaning here.  We have just been around our families during this Christmas season, having just celebrated the day Christ was born.  The deeper part of the clip is that the Prime Minister doesn't let bad actions go unnoticed or challenged.  This Christmas season lets take the time to bring the issues that we are facing with our families out into the light, because it is only in the light that anything can be resolved.  When we let things sit in our dark closet, and never deal with them, how are they ever to be resolved?  We need to take this holiday season, this beautiful time of Christmas to actually bring the healing that Christ himself promised in the world.  If there are wounds you have this year take time to address them before the new year.  If you need counseling, go to counseling, if you need to talk to your dad, do it.  Do not wait longer for what you need this day, Christmas has come, the wait is over, God is now here!
