happiness

i had a reunion this morning with one of my favorite movies of all time, which is "The Deep End of the Ocean" starred by Michelle Pfeifer as Beth Cappadora. i was so happy to find a torrent file of this old movie and believe it or not, i waited for 3 or 4 days, i think, for it to download completely. hehehe.. bagal ng connection eh. :D but my patience paid off. i now have a copy of it! hihi. ^_^

it is a story of a mom who lost her kid when he was still three (3) during a reunion party of her batch. the movie's a heavy drama. struggles of a mom and the family when you lost a love one.

thru that movie, it was AGAIN emphasized to me that if you truly care for someone, if you have sincere, real and warm affection for that person, you will always seek his happiness as apart to yours, as Beth did for her son. even if it entailed her a great deal of pain, she did what she has to do just to see her son happy. she's so willing to gave up her own happiness, for the happiness of her son.

wow! i could imagine how hard it is for beth to give away his son again after losing and missing him for 9-10 years.. tsk tsk tsk..

the first time i watched that movie, i cried when Beth gave his son away again back to the life he's used to. it's not that easy. only with great love can a person do that.

Jehovah God is like that to us.
He gave away his Son for us sinful humans to be saved from death.
He let himself experienced the excruciating pain of seeing His beloved son die just to save the imperfect, weak and unthankful humans.
He love us so dearly and He gave His son away for us to live..
What a great example of His magnificent and unmatched love.

so to end this entry, loving someone could sometime demand that you must give up your own happiness just to see that person happy..

not easy? yes. but it is possible. :)
