I recently watched a movie--it was so moving and touching that i came home emotionally drained but spiritually nourished. truly, it moved my heart to the deepest extremes!our lives are truly shaped by stories and mine was lately touched by this not-so famous but beautiful film. This one stirred my emotions, provoked my higher faculty and influenced the course of my life.
The title of the film was "letters to god". This film is a tribute to faith, hope and love through the eyes of a child. This film did not only taught me not to fear death but made me look forward to it and even motivated me to invest in relationships. This movie is truly heartwarming and inspiring.
Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy. Surrounded by a loving family and community, and armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler, God is a friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal - Tyler's prayers take the form of letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The letters find their way into the hands of Brady McDaniels, a beleaguered postman standing at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused and conflicted over what to do with the letters. Over time he begins to form a friendship with the Doherty family - getting to know not just Tyler but his tough, tender yet overwhelmed mom, stalwart grandmother and teen brother Ben - who are each trying to stand strong against the doubts that come with the chaotic turn their lives have taken. Moved by Tyler's courage, Brady realizes what he must do with the letters, a surprise decision that will transform his heart and uplift his newfound friends and community - in an exhilarating act of testament to the contagious effect of one boy's unwavering faith against the odds.
Happy watching!
