True love is only true when the feeling is mutual. Yet, it need not be expressed in words. When love is true, you just feel it.

A Movie Worth Sharing

At this point, I'm actually thinking of what should be the title of this post. If I will use the movie's title, I'm not sure if that would capture your attention. Thanks if somehow it has capture you by the title I use now. (If you've watched this movie already, good for you! I saw this movie only today! LOL!) Well, this movie really touched my heart and made my hankie damped for about a couple and a couple of minutes. I'm not sure though if this is something appropriate for some singles out there but hey! It touches me and I can relate for most parts - that is because it is still about relationships! But then, I'm sure that it is more likely to be  meaningful and significant for a couple, who shares their love in sweet memories, in the fireworks of their relationship or better yet, lovers who's in the very tough time and in the midst of a storm of their relationship.

I hope that whatever your status is, be it single, taken, complicated, or your in "I don't care, not my thing and I'm not interested" mode, please, please give it some time to watch this movie. And be sure to have your hankie beside you. LOL! :)

I quoted below my favorite part of this movie. That gave me so much realization that I could reflect on and on and on... :)

Happy watching! :)

John Holt: Caleb, if I had to ask you why you're so frustrated with Catherine, what would you say?

Caleb Holt: She's stubborn. She makes everything difficult for me. She's ungrateful. She's constantly griping about something.

John Holt: Has she thanked you for anything you've done in the last 20 days?

Caleb Holt: No! And you'd think after I washed the car, changed the oil, do the dishes, cleaned the house, that she would try to show me a little bit of gratitude, but she doesn't. In fact, when I come home, she makes me feel like I'm an enemy! I'm not even welcome in my own home, dad! That is what really ticks me off! Dad, for the last three weeks I have bent over backwards for her! I have tried to demonstrate that I still care about this relationship. I bought her flowers, which she threw away. I have taken her insults and her sarcasm, but last night was it. I made dinner for her. I did everything I could to demonstrate that I care about her, to show value for her, and she spat in my face! She does not deserve this, dad! I am not doing it anymore! How am I supposed to show love to somebody over and over and over, who constantly rejects me?

John Holt: [John Holt strokes the wooden cross, and turns to Caleb] Has been questioned.

Caleb Holt: Dad, that is not what I'm doing.

John Holt: Isn't it?

Caleb Holt: No. Dad, that is not what this is about.

John Holt: Son, you just asked me: how can someone show love over and over again when they're constantly rejected? Caleb, the answer is: you can't love her, because you can't give her what you don't have. I couldn't truly love your mother until I understood what love really was. It's not because I get some reward out of it. I've now made a decision to love your mother whether she deserves it or not. Son, God loves you, even though you don't deserve it. Even though you've rejected Him. Spat in His face. God sent Jesus to die on the cross and take the punishment for your sin, because He loves you. The cross was offensive to me, until I came to it. But when I did, Jesus Christ changed my life. That's when I truly began to love your mom. Son, I can't settle this for you. This is between you and the Lord. But I love you too much not to tell you the truth. Can't you see that you need Him? Can't you see that you need His forgiveness?
