Lesson from "Home Alone"

I love the church scene in "Home Alone." Kevin goes to church in search of community after being alone for so long. There, he seeks forgiveness for how he has treated his family. He also learns that mercy is not passing judgment on someone he does not know - Old Man Marley.

At the same time, Kevin helps Old Man Marley realize that he must forgive himself and reconnect with his own family. It is at church that Kevin finds the strength for "battle" against Marv and Harry. Finally, he finds his "savior" - in Old Man Marley - at church. #Advent
