just a movie .......but so much to learn from....

Just saw a movie......actually 1/4 of a movie .....title also not sure....."The pursue ........" or pursuit......never mind.

It's a real story of a single parent, father and son. Father's love was so strong despite poverty and struggle

he refused to separate with the son...( to some they might think differently not that they love their kid less )

No place to sleep, don't even have $ 14.00. Asked a friend for RM 14 and the friend refused to give.

I was telling Ian, what a friend is that......but to my surprised Ian said maybe the friend

also having same financial difficulty.

This can be true because in the show we saw so many lining up to get free shelter just for a night.......

So Roseline.......don't jump to conclusion and don't make judgment.

The father was a good, loving father struggling to get a decent job and the small kid was a good kid and he

loves his dad very much. Despite frustration, desperation, disappointment .....he tried so hard to

stay cool and loving, giving his son reassurance yet not lying to him.

At first they stayed in a cheap motel......was kick out for not able to pay ......so guess where they slept....

inside the loo of a train station. The dad in order to make life more interesting for the kid despite the situation

........play ..... a make believe.......saying there are using a time machine .....and then .....oh! There're in a place

where there are dinousaurs and they need to stay in a cave......and the cave is the loo.

Ben said this actor playing the role of the father, actually won an award for this movie.

what i like most was the part i saw him and his kid going to a church .......they still find time for God.

Despite all this they still have faith and believe there's God.

Inside the church, the choir sang a song with words ........that touches me so much.....

it said don't move the mountains but give me the strength to climb up.

Must remember these words.......so often we ask God to remove us from an unpleasant

situation ...be it pain, poverty, hardship, and so forth.......we should actually pray ....

pray for strength; for God will provide and has plans for us. We must believe and trust Him

and ask Him to walk with us and He will always be by our side to walk through these moments.

And true enough the man's struggle .........was worth it . His hard work, his love for his son,

his faith in God.....eventually got him somewhere. He sat for a test to qualify as a broker,

struggling with work, studies and taking care of his kid.......he got through and from then

his life took a better turn.

Before this he was so broke that he gave blood just to get an extra $ 8.......but at least

a decent deed. When facing poverty, hardship .......it's very tempting to desire to get out

of that situation as quickly as possible and we can get partially blinded and make wrong decision.

Partially blinded ......why i use this word .....because most of the time we know what is right

and wrong but we rather choose the one that is not so right ......to escape and leave to face

the consequences later........and most of the time the problem will be temporary solved and then

more problems will crop in .......but yet we choose this way.........I know I have done that before....

A choice .......to get out of poverty .....to choose right or wrong way ......a crossroad. The choice

and it's consequences that follows. God's ways or otherwise.

His life improved and improved ...........and he became wealthy ..........God has provided for him and his boy

in God's plan and time. He has been faithful, he has shown love to his son as God has shown him ......

he believed God throughout and spent time with God.

It's based on a true story ....i would love to watch again ......from the beginning ........

A story .......a reminder of God's love.......a reminder to be obedient and trust in Him and be grateful for

all he has done. Thanks be to God. Alleluia!Laughing
