stuart and i saw this movie yesterday ..i loved it......by the end i was holding back the tears ...and to be honest if i had been in a room alone i would have balled my eyes out like a little girl...why?...not because the movie was sad..the very opposite..it was so uplifting....it was the family snapshots in the credits of the real people the movie was about..that set me of...i think it is because we are adopting from Thailand and will also be a multi racial family..that it really struck a cord with me on one level...while being apart of a family from your culture and race is important on some levels..at the end of the day nothing is more valuable than being loved, accepted, wanted and believed in...on another level i was challenged ...as this young guy joined the family in the movie as a 17 year old..having had the most difficult start in life....after many years in youth work i have heard many say 'it's too late for him to make something out of his life'...that he was too 'damaged'......but thankfully no-one is out of the reach of God moving and changing their lives.....as christians there is no one we should think is to far gone to reach out the hand of help and hope to open our homes and lives to......i know we say all the right things but do our daily lives really reflect this belief..........so as i said before....i shed some tears at the end of this movie... it both uplifted and deeply challenged me.....
