17 Miracles
Wow! So we finally watched 17 Miracles this weekend. Before we watched it I was being bratty about wishing for fun things like new clothes that fit, ipad, cool new car, kitchen-aid, sewing machine, non-drafty house, etc.
Enter … HUMILITY… why do I ever think I’m truly in NEED when I am so abundantly blessed? (i like that phrase?… abundantly blessed… one of my blog friends used it and it’s my new favorite concept to think on.)
It really was a touching movie. Jimmy saw it months ago at a movie screening for his department at work… he cried for the first time in 20 years. True Story. Those pioneers sure suffered through hard times. The Lord must have known they were strong… or that they would be refined and made more pure. “We can do Hard things” takes on a new meaning after thinking about all that some endure.
Here’s the trailer:

I was able to see this at a special screening in Colorado in July. So amazing! It always makes me so grateful for the things I have and the trials that my ancestors went through for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
We bought the movie. Every time I see it, I cry. Chris too.
I need to post that quote all over my house to remind myself that “I can do hard things!” Especially at this point in my life. Ha. :)
Do you have copy? If you do can we borrow it? We still haven’t seen it. But I have heard great things about it.
