The Road Not
Taken—Robert Frost
“Two roads
diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made
all the difference.”
Sometimes we
have to make decisions in our lives that might be difficult and decisions that
require an action that is not the norm.
But being independent and taking chances can provide you with a sense of
self-identity and confidence that may lead to an unexpected but rewarding
outcome.
The Bible
Romans 8:28--
And we know that all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
I was raised as a Baptist and I try to live everyday with this particular
verse in mind. Every dilemma and
heartbreak will eventually lead to something good. We need to learn from our mistakes to become
a better person.
The Help— Kathryn Stockett
Preacher Green: If you can love your enemy, you already have victory.
This book provided
an insight to what is was like during segregation. Sometimes it just takes one person to cause a
spark that can start a revolution.
People need to stand up for what they believe and be a leader and not a
follower. You are not going to get anywhere in life with hate in your heart.
I've been wanting to read this! Thanks for putting it back on my radar!
ReplyDeleteThe bible verse and Robert Frost poem also had significance in my life!
ReplyDeleteI've read "The Help" and have seen the movie. The Help instills the importance of being courageous. After reading all three of your literacy posts, it seems that you are kind-hearted and value the importance of being confident, and treating others with respect.
