A month or so ago, Jun, Joey and I watched Evan Almighty (little sidenote here....on Sunday, Joey and Junior helped me out in my first grade RivKid class. Little Emmy pointed at Jun and whispered "he looks like Evan Almighty." I laughed so hard...because he does!). Morgan Freeman had such an awesome line in the movie I meant to look up and quote. Then, Noel played the clip a few weeks ago. Here it is:
God (Morgan Freeman): Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
Then, a few weeks ago, Jun, Joey and I (wow, this is a common statement) watched Amazing Grace. Two lines from that movie were pretty awesome, too.
John Newton: God sometimes does His work with gentle drizzle, not storms. Drip. Drip. Drip.
John Newton: Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I'm a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.
I love those lines.
