The Package: Two amazing Animations, countless Learnings included! :) (Another Movie Analysis )

One and a half hour was too much for us to view two amazing video clips but that time wasn’t enough for us to digest every little but significant lesson there. These stories by Mr. Max Lucado were so ‘simple’, uncomplicated. And it’s presented via cartoons so viewers wouldn’t be that bored and rather, enjoy the activity.

Let’s go through it one-by-one. The first video entitled HERMIE, A COMMON CATERPILLAR was a “rampant” situation nowadays. We’re not just aware but sometimes, we act like him. We do everything to be DIFFERENT, to stand out, which in the end proves us one thing… that we’re becoming who are NOT US. We’re doing things that we thought we should because maybe, it should be that way. WE’RE DOING THINGS OUR WAY. It’s just like: MY WAY, or NO WAY! The endpoint: We find ourselves talking to God and worst, questioning Him WHY? Just like what Hermie, the Caterpillar keeps on asking God. He always compare others with himself that in the end, it frustrates him knowing that others has “something” he doesn’t have. But God, who tirelessly repeat these words: “I’m not finished with you yet. I’m giving you a heart that’s like mine.”, is somewhat striking us. Though God doesn’t gave us everything, he gave us a heart that’s like him. Moreover, He loves us even we don’t love ourselves the way we are. That’s HIM. We should always remember. And just like what Hermie had realized and stated: I have a great God and that makes me special. We are all unique in every little way. Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of BEING YOU than YOU :)

Next video: BUZBEE and the GRUMBLEBEES. Whew! I definitely love the story. Also, the song which keeps on saying, “You have to Bee-have in the Bee-hive.” A story focusing on the importance of having good manners. Reality hurts. Really, youngsters nowadays think of ‘practicing GMRC’ as an old-school act. They say it’s boriiiinnnnnggg. Yeah maybe, but it’s worth it. Uncle Buzbee’s plan, together with the help of some friends, worked! From the GRUMBLE bees, Beebee and Buddy, turned to well-BEE-haved Bees. So happy to see the transformation :)

All these words will be useless without application. Max Lucado leave us a challenge of LIVING the things we’ve known, the lessons earned. Good luck to everyone! :)
