SUNDAY BLESSINGS ~ WHAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED!

I saw the movie "The Help" tonight after spending the weekend reading the book.  What an outstanding MUST-READ for everyone!  The message is so profound about how we treat one another.   Being human goes far beyond what the color of our skin is or what our religion or nationality is. 

Each of us can make a difference each and every day by doing the most simple things such as a genuine thank you, please and being courteous.  Doesn't it seem that being polite is something that is so foreign these days?  I believe we need to go back to the simple things such as good manners.

It costs nothing to say a kind thing or to help out a total stranger.  We must be kind and we must recognize other people as worth and worthwhile.  My blessings today are abundant.  What I hope to pass along this week is more kindness and thoughtful words.  May you each have a beautiful week ahead.

I really enjoyed that movie which took me back to my childhood.   I almost burst out laughting with the mention of silver polishing day LOL  I remember my Mom setting aside a designated day, guess who has the silver now???  I do but its in the pantry because it needs polishing!!

Oh my this is the BEST movie in a long time.  I believe it will be up for many awards and best acting for sure.  And yes Marilyn, so many things to relate to for those of us who grew up in the south in the 60's.  I loved the relationships this movie brought out and about the human spirit.  Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Paula, I will see about getting this to watch. I assume it will be good for my kids at home also?

Hey Mike.  How old are the kids?  There are a few places of bad language but not much at all.  The story is an important one for our children however so I would recommend it.  Will make for great conversations later on for the entire family.  Really hits home about how we treat our fellow man.
