My son Dallas and I pray every night, and my prayer is always that he would grow up to be a kind boy who loves God with all his heart.
Tyler, the main character in Letters To God, is a child who is fearless in sharing his faith and loving others. In fact, he is the kind of person that I would like to be.
The thing that makes Tyler even more amazing is that he has cancer, but he faces each day with hope.
If you are a parent, you will sob your way through Letters To God, but leave feeling uplifted and encouraged. And this is a wonderful movie for children, too--there are some really funny scenes, and I can totally see showing it to Dallas in a few years (he is six months now) and having a conversation about faith, caring for others, and cancer. Maybe he will even decide on his own to do something to help sick children? I truly think that so many hearts and lives will be changed by this movie. And to take back the arts for Christ...to use moviemaking to reach folks with a message of faith, hope, and love....well, that is just awesome, and I hope there are more movies like this.
And if you are battling cancer, please know you are in our prayers. If you go to http://www.letterstogodthemovie.com/, you can find support. And please let us know exactly how we can pray for you here at The Fish by emailing me at lara@thefish959.com.
I hope you had a wonderful Mama's Day Weekend! My hubby made french toast yesterday, and then I went to church, the gym, and a massage. We also took Dallas to his first movie, and he did great!!! He slept a bit in his carseat, and then had a bottle, and bounced on our legs. There was one quiet moment where he let out a huge burp, which was a little awkward, lol. :-)
