We watched this movie this summer in China with all the kids. It was a humbling experience because many of them have challenges in their lives be it physical, or the challenge of having no family to love them or both. It put things into perspective.
1 Peter 3:14
But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled...
One day we were talking about forgiveness after with our family groups and my little Gracie told me she wanted to forgive her uncle. Her uncle believes in a different form of Taoism I believe (if the translation is correct) and when her dad was really sick he wanted to bring him to his temple to have "treatments" done to him. It was shortly after he brought him there that her dad died. I don't know if what they did to her dad at that temple ultimately caused his death - but in Gracie's heart that was the cause and for her to want to forgive her uncle was incredible. She prayed for him and forgave him. That little girl teaches me sooo much.
