A few weeks ago Robert and I went to see the movie, Courageous. I knew that it was a Christian movie, so when we went to the theatre, I convinced Robert to let us watch it to help support it. He agreed! What I didn't know was that the whole movie was about fathers being good dads. I felt bad at first, because it appeared that I had convinced Robert to watch the movie as an "intervention." Ha! While we were driving home, I explained how great of a dad that I thought he was. His response to the movie was, "Watching that movie reminds every good daddy why he does what he does and encourages others to do better." So, either way, I would encourage any daddy to watch this movie. It is very sweet. If you have not seen the movie, you can view the trailer below.
As the credits were rolling after the movie, something special happened. In the last scene of the movie one of the dads is sharing his testimony at a local church. He asks the question, "Who will be a man of courage?" Men in the congregation begin to stand up and say, "I will." There in the pitch dark movie theatre, a man down front stood to his feet and said, "I will." Then another stood and said, "I will." Men all over the movie theatre stood and made that promise. Oh my, what a moving and incredible impromptu moment!! It was amazing...I definitely witnessed a special moment and I feel very blessed that the man that God gave my children has promised, "I will."
