"Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, never, never give up!"

I watched a few movies this weekend. One of them was Martian Child. First of all I really liked it! I got the title from this movie! In it a little boy is adopted by a man who is a widower. The little boy is quite unusual in that he really thinks he is from mars (don't we all sometimes!). Of course the man falls in love with the boy, but the social workers don't think he is making any progress because even after being with his new dad for a while he still thinks he is from mars. So they think they might have to take him away, but the dad tells him that they will "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, never, never, never give up." I'm not sure how many nevers or evers there were but a lot! I've just been thinking about it since. In the longest races, or lowest depressions we have to keep telling ourselves "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, never, never, never give up" and if we can't tell ourselves that all we have to do is listen for God to ever so faintly whisper "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, never, never, never give up" into our ear. We may not even realize He's doing it until later. I didn't. But He is telling us and He DEFIANTLY "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, never, never, never gives up" on us!

And go rent the movie its great!
