Thanks to Walmart for the good DVD deals, I got the movie Nights in Rodanthe with Richard Gere and Jessica Lange. I had seen it before but thankfully because my memory is so bad I forgot all the details and it's like watching it for the first time almost every time. LOL. This one is a tear-jerker! I already knew what happens in the end so I was balling long before the tearful stuff started. The movie is about two people who come into each other's lives by chance. They are both in very different difficult places in their lives that have to do with relationships to spouse, son, daughter, etc. The main point of the movie was that these two people had changed each other just by being who they are. There have been plenty of people in my life that had an impact on changing me for the better. One of those people is a good friend of mine named Claudine. She prayed for me that I would except Christ someday and I did. She prayed for me and my daughter when we struggled to keep baby inside of me at 20 weeks of pregnancy. She has always been a great support and though she doesn't live within quick driving distance anymore I am so thankful for her friendship, support and love throughout the last 14 years we have known each other. The Lord has worked through her in helping me. My prayer is that I can be that kind of loving supportive person for those people in my life and that my dear friend has plenty of that loving support given back to her from the people around her.
My daughter Faith with Claudine's daugther in Fall 2009 trip to visit them.
Psalm 94:18 When I said, "My foot is slipping, your love, O Lord, supported me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
I love hymns. Most people today enjoy worshiping God with the hip songs. Me, I'll stick with the on-point words of "Amazing Grace," "It is well with my Soul," and the like.
ReplyDeleteToday, to celebrate the beginning of Advent, we sang "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and it was wonderful. So today, I'm thankful for the hymns of old.
Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. Isaiah 46:9
