children of heaven

i saw children of heaven today - a remarkably touching movie about a brother, a sister, and a relationship filled with love and sacrifice. i would not have stumbled across this movie on my own, and am grateful to n that he introduced us to it. there were many aspects that made the movie beautiful, but what moved me most was the power of love the movie seeks to portray. the thought that love can have so strong an influence so as to help us achieve feats we may otherwise shy away from, in the fear that we may not be deserving enough, never ceases to amaze me. 'tis a lesson that we must never underestimate that power, for it may lead us to achieve great things. we should pray, then, that our love be so pure as to direct us onto the path of becoming better, stronger, and wiser human beings.
