I can only imagine...

I wrote about Superman Returns the other day, how I could see the symbols of Christian faith within the movie that was released this past summer.

Today, I watched  a four minute video from YouTube, and saw God working through a father and his son.

I will watch it every time I think I can't do any more than I already am.

Here it is. I didn't want to write about it. The video says it better than any words I could put together.

 

                         

 

Credit: to my friend and colleague, Becky, for sending the email with the link to the video, and for bringing it to my attention. And to the blogger, Steve, who wrote about it first.

Ah...I remember these guys well.   We saw them on a show where the father explained that his own health was saved due to his desire to make his son happy.   His devotion to his son is uncanny...and the joy is seen in both of them!
Thanks Bea...

I saw this video on You Tube. It shows how great the human spirit is, how great is the will to survive and overcome incredibly difficult odds. Thanks Bea. It made me cry all over again!

Well, of course I cried when I watched this.  The love between this father and son, and how this father wanted his son to experience it all... just like our Father in heaven carries us to many of life's finishing lines.. so did this earthly father for his son.  Beautiful, Bea... thank you for sharing it.  A lot of symbolism in this video.

Hugs
