Games & Movies & a Special Mission

     I've had so many thoughts and things I wanted to blog about but now as I finally have a moment of peace and quite I can't seem to remember a thing.
     With Moine being home we have played alot of family games if daddy isn't to worn out which seems to be more then we like but were getting use to it.  We've also enjoyed watching a few good movies together. One of the childrens favorite is "The Heart of Christmas!" They don't care its a Christmas movie they'd watch it almost daily if we'd let them. It's about a little boy named, Dax who is dying of cancer and he gets medical care at St. Judes Hospital!  If you haven't had a chance to watch it while I'd encourage you too but warning it is a movie where you'll want a tissue box close by if your anything like me anyway.
      It is based on a true story of hope and compassion. Austin and Julie Locke are devastated when they learn that their young son, Dax, has ben diagnosed with cancer. But with courage, determination and faith, they decide to give Dax one last Christmas, even if it has to be in October. When the community sees the holiday decorations and learns the heartbreaking truth, what happens next is a miraculous outpouring of caring and support.
      Another favorite of theirs is "Johnny!" Now I don't know why but these 2 movies have similar ideas and their both loved by our children. In fact one of my boys don't want me to watch these 2 movies with them because I always cry. Daddy put a stop to that real quick.  So yes this is also a tissue needed movie.
     "Johnny" is about a young boy who is a foster child and is dying of leukemia. He is convinced he is here for a special mission; a mission that is revealed when he enters Dr. Carter's world. Dr. Drew Carter tragically lost his 10 year old boy son in a car accident while his wife was driving, he didn't expect to lose his whole family as well. Since the accident Drew's wife, Julia has become emotionally absent from Drew and their daughter, Kayla. Drew sees a chance to heal his family but because Julia remains in a perpetual guilt~ridden state of grief, she is opposed to the idea of adopting this terminally ill boy. With Kayla feeling increasingly more rejected by her own mother and drew growing more distant from his wife, he decides to take matters into his own hands and adopts Johnny for better or worse.
       So remember, "Everyone has a special mission!"  There were many things that we gained from these 2 dvd's  but its now putting what we've gained to practice.
      I know I didn't have alot to say and nothing brillant but if your in  need of a good dvd now you have a few ideas. There both really good, and really sad and makes you do alot of thinking!!
      Hope you have a blessed day!! Be joyful and enjoy the special mission which God has given you!!
