Every act of normal folk

While watching the Hobbit, I had a few favorite lines that taught great principles. Here are a few…
Gandalf talking to Galadriel. “Why the Halfling?” She asks.

“I do not know,” Gandalf answers.
“Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check.
But that it is not what I’ve found.
I’ve found it is the small things, every act of normal folk that keeps the darkness of at bay —
simple acts of kindness and love.
Why Bilbo Baggins?
Perhaps it is because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.”

1. choices that each of us make as individuals & as a family can strengthen the good in the world.
2. choosing to make courageous choices serves as an example to others … to give them courage to do HARD things for right!
