Once again we take another walk down memory lane as we look at another one of my favorite movies, Newsies. Yeah that's the one with Christian Bale when he was really young and they called him "Cowboy." This movie is great! Tons of singing and dancing for the more artsy folk, it has a nice love story for the romantic, a little bit of rebellion and fist fights for action guy, and for those who like to think while watching a movie, a story of a young man trying to find his place in life.
Cowboy is an orphan who is tying to make his way in life as a paperboy. There is a lot of opposition for this young man. His main goal is to make it to Sante Fe. If he can just make it out there then he will be set!! But in the end he realizes something, everything that could make him truly happy in life is right around him! The friends that he has made have become his family and that is what made him truly happy.
We are a lot like Cowboy. We feel like there is a goal that if we reach then we have made it! Whether that is that highend executive job, that 6 figure payment, that house on a private beach, or that magnificent ranch out in Idaho. But there is an easier path to true happiness. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is there for all to partake of. He invites us all to come unto him to have rest (Matt. 11:28). I know that he can bring true happiness into our lives! (Mosiah 2:41)
