The Shack

 Hey Everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful April so far.

I have decided to write about the movie the Shack Starring Sam Worthington, Octavia Spencer, Tim McGraw, and a wonderful Cast. 

The movie Stars off with Mackenzie Phillips Mac for short who is suffering Physical and Emotional abuse at the hands of his drunken father, who abuses his mother as well.

One day the family all goes to church and he tells the pastor about his abuse he’s been suffering and because of that he is punished by his father he starts beating him, and because of that the mother leaves them, and at the age of 13, he decides to poison his father with Strychnine in his whiskey. 

 A few years go by and he is married to Nan and has three kids one boy and three girls, who he absolutely adores, Kate Josh, and Missy, Mackenzie takes his kids camping and unfortunately an incident happens and Missy turns up missing and his world falls apart he was saving his two oldest kids from a canoe accident.

Mackenzie calls the police and the police determine Missy was a victim of a serial killer after finding her dress that is torn and blood in a derelict cabin in the forest Kate blames herself for Missy’s death, because she caused the canoe accident in the first place. 

The Tragedy derails Mack’s faith and his life, until one winter  when he receives an unstamped typewritten  note inviting him to meet at the shack , the message is signed Papa that was a nickname Missy used for God.

 Mack thinks this is his opportunity to meet with the killer and Punishing him Mac takes his gun , borrows his friends SUV and drives there avoiding a accident with a truck on the way, he finds the shack empty he is so upset he tries to end his life.

 Before he does he sees a mysterious figure who leads him to a trio of strangers who invite him to stay at their house nearby. 

The trio of Strangers gradually reveal their Identities, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit you will see who they are when you watch the movie, the purpose of their visit Is to help Mack better understand his life from a broader context and Prospective, and to heal himself and his family after Missy’s death. 

Mack Helps Jesus build a wooden box and helps the Holy Spirit prepare a spot for her in the garden for a planting.

 Papa changes form into a Native American Man who leads him to the cave where Missy’s body is located together they prepare her body for burial. 

The rest of the movie is very moving, encouraging, and Heart felt you will have to see the movie to see what else happens. 

I decided to write about this movie because It is a Heart Felt Story and if you are dealing with Grief or a loss it helps you heal in a way and know that even though your loved 🥰 one is gone or the person you really cared about and loved has passed away they are always with you and watching over you and making sure you are doing ok.  

A few of my family members have passed away, that was hard for me because I really loved and cared about all of them I love all of my family very much, and I always love seeing them and spending time with them.

I make sure to cherish each moment when I’m with them because life is short, and you never know what the day will bring its important to let people know now how much they mean to you and how much you care about them while they are still here and can hear it and receive it. And there is also a good book you can read also it’s Called Divine Disruption by the Evans Family . They are a wonderful family and it’s a wonderful book it’s helped me a lot.  I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie.
