On Sunday we had a wonderful experience. I made a turkey dinner for the family as it was Theresa's and Bryan's birthdays this week. After dinner Theresa, Rich, Tera, Tenlee and Tera's friend Brendon, all went with us up to the new house to watch a movie in the theater room.
The movie we watched was "The Ultimate Gift." It is a story about a wealthy young man's journey to receive his inheritance. After his grandfather's death he has to perform a series of tasks to receive the gifts that are his. "Life is how you live it... not how you spend it." The young man is challenged to with his gifts as they are gifts of life, not things. Life skills such as work and sharing. It's an inspiring movie that will have you laughing, crying, and most of all, wanting to be a better person.
I recommend that everyone watch this movie. It will remind you of the movie Pay it Forward. It would be a wonderful family home evening. I did a search about the movie after watching it and found that they have discussion guides, and many other motivational things to inspire people into action. Action to do better, action to help others, action to become involved.
"Good doesn't just happen. It grows person by person."
