I guess we all feel sorry for ourselves at times...
However, it doesn't get you anywhere if you let it control your life..
Life goes on and we can accept our lot, of continually blame it for not blossoming.
Last night I watched a POWERFUL DVD.... 'The Blind Side'
It was the real life story of a big hearted young man named Michael Oher who was a homeless child from a very young age.
In his own words, Michael says he doesn't hold grudges against anyone for the misfortune he encountered as a child.
"I don't dwell on anything,
I'm not going to feel sorry for myself because I didn't have a place to stay a lot of time.
It is what it is.
We've got to go through some things in life.
Take it and run with it."
I have ordered this DVD for my children for Christmas..
It has a valuable lesson..
It's not where you come from, but where you are going in the future.
Let Christ Shine in Your Life.
Sounds like a great movie, I will look into it.
ReplyDeleteHoping and praying you are healing.

Our kids gave us this as a Christmas gift last year, it is such a good film! I have seen the real Michael on talk shows. What a quiet, thoughtful person he is!
ReplyDeleteI love this movie too! I don't know anything about football but I sure do connect with these characters.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I have seen this movie before and we thought it was a wonderful movie to see!
ReplyDeleteLove that movie!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about you last night and saying a prayer for you, wondering how you are doing with your knees...
In His love,

That sounds like a wonderful movie and I will put it on my Christmas list. Thanks for letting us know about it.
ReplyDeleteWe have that movie and just watched it again a few days ago - there is so much to learn from that show - it was amazing! sandie
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this movie but it sounds good. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDo not know if this movie is subtitled in Portuguese, I'll see if I can find. I felt a huge desjo to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI remember the words of the Apostle Paul: "Leaving things which are behind and reaching forward to what lies before me, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13,14) For those who know Jesus our target, our goal is himself, who also is our beginning. To those who still do not know, may even have a starting point, which is his desire to leave behind the things that were. However, recisam the arrival point where everything is full even in a desert place.
What a good message to our hearts!
Be blessed in Christ, where everything is full!
Grace and peace!
I loved that movie. It is on my list to see again sometime in the future.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog the other day. I have been quiet lately in blogger land and have not been to your blog in a while. I hope and pray all is well with you.
