The Croods were a prehistoric family who hunted food by day and huddled together in a cave by night to protect themselves.
When another character shows up, Guy, who is about the daughters age troubles begin to brew. The daughter was adventurous and did not follow "THE RULES" set forth by the father, Grug. Grug felt like he was to shoulder all the responsibility of the families safety and would not venture out of his "comfort" zone.
Sound familiar? Many of us are this way. When the daughter, Eep, runs into Guy and he meets the family a conflict between Guy and Grug comes to light. Guy is following "THE LIGHT" and Grug is stuck in hunt for food by day; huddle in the cave by night mode.
As the show continues, the family begins to listen to Guy and want Grug too as well. Grug resists. As the show goes on eventually Grug comes around. Please note that Guy was following "THE LIGHT" -- which, in our Christian walk we should be doing as well -- following "THE LIGHT" aka JESUS.
Many are resistant to change and cling to what is comfortable. Look at Acts 2:44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.
Grug was living in what he understood. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
This is a lesson for us all. We do need to TRUST in the LORD with ALL OUR HEART.
What is your attitude today? Are you reacting as Grug, OR, moving toward the light as was Guy? The choice is yours and to spread the word sits in your hands. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
