Great line from Seabiscuit and more...

My wife Mary and I saw the movie "Seabiscuit" last night. One line from the movie really stuck with us: "Everybody thinks we found this broken down horse and fixed it, but he fixed us and in a way…we fixed each other too." Isn't that exactly the way life is at times?

Then we sat down at dinner next to a couple with a physically deformed 3-year old son. The little boy desparately wanted attention, which Mary gladly gave him. Our hearts filled with sorrow in seeing the little boy, then we realized what a powerful teacher this youngster was about love, real beauty and perserverance in life. You could say that the little boy fixed some things inside us that needed fixing.

Seabiscuit is a life lesson teacher, but I think the little boy may have actually given us more.

I say: "Rejoice. All of us have so much to be thankful for."
