This picture pretty much sums up how I have been feeling lately! I’m tired…I like this movie (The Green Mile), mainly because Tom Hanks is in it, but I wouldn’t say that it is one of my favorites. This movie does, however, have a very good message to it. If you haven’t seen it, I would recommend watching it, and I mean REALLY watching it.
I am sure that you have all seen on the news about the 2 little boys, best friends, one white and one black, who got the same hair cut in order to “trick” their teacher into not being able to tell them apart. How CUTE is that?!?! They are oblivious to the fact that they are different in a most obvious way, and that is the most beautiful thing to see. If we could all have the innocence of children throughout our whole lives, the world would be a much nicer place.
There are many lessons that we can learn from these 2 little best friends. We are all of one race…the Human Race! I think the best thing that we can learn is this: We are not born with hate in our hearts, that is learned/taught. We are put on this earth to LOVE each other, as Jesus loved us. We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that our unity will one day be restored
And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love.
The lyrics from Tim McGraw’s “Humble and Kind” are always a great reminder for me: “Hold the door say please say thank you
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie Don’t expect a free ride from no one
Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why
Bitterness keeps you from flying
Always stay humble and kind”
I always told my kids when they were in school that even though they looked nice on the outside, if they didn’t treat others the way they wanted to be treated, that made them ugly. You never know the impact that a kind word or gesture will make in someones day! Let’s not be ugly, there is enough of that going around already.
