Movie review: Cinderella "Have Courage and Be Kind"

20:24:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

Movie summary: Just like the classic Ella's father marries a woman with two daughters around her age. After an accident, Ella is left in the care of her stepmother, and her role slowly changes from a lady to a servant of the household. She is belittled and mistreated. And yet she holds steadfast to her mother's last words- to have courage and be kind. With this, she is rewarded with a happily ever after.

My thoughts: With so many twists on classics, I was fearful that disney would change a classic. Cinderella was beautifully made complete with innocent Ella and Prince Charming.

The take home phrase, "Have courage and be kind".  It's easier said than done. In the bible, God also asks us to "be strong and courageous" and to "love your neighbours as you love yourself". It's very easy to read about and even teach about in children's ministry. We have seen both these things on the news this week. As a religion we were attacked with guns while meeting for prayer. And as a church, what they did was to have courage and be kind. A bit amazing, but it's possible.

12 days left - alive

It's been a crazy 6 months... I moved out of home to take a chance on a job opportunity. Over the last 6 months, I have met some pretty interesting people in and outside of my clinic room. I have had epic adventures in this city both in the wild and within the cityscape. And I have experienced a range of human emotions from pure joy to despair.



I felt like it was more than an existence. There were so many moments where I felt absolutely alive. Not just in the ups, and not just in the downs, but even in those mundane moments. I have been incredibly blessed.

In 12 days time I'll be back home. I'm not sure where I will be in 6 months time, but I guess I can only take it a day at a time.

I am bless with a job that allows me to get to know people... many people, and hear their stories. On a given day, I would be exposed to people with persistent pain, long term health issues, long term mental health issues, depression, anxiety, behavioural difficulties, substance abuse issues, etc.

There was an inspirational client I met lately, who was able to overcome what medical doctors thought was impossible. The client had this energy, and instead of giving up, they tried harder, and now, in recovery, they are determined to motivate others to overcome.

That is just one part of our health. Or two if you count both physical and mental health. We were made completely flawless, completely clean and free from imperfection in God's eyes. But one man's sacrifice. Sometimes we forget the enormity of this.
