I am a huge fan of Glenn Beck.  And I was watching his show last night only to realize that just who it was he had with him.  Chris Gardner, the man in which the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was inspired.  You should all remember the movie as it was released just a few years ago.  To this day it remains to be one of my favorite movies and probably the most inspirational movie I’ve ever seen.

Now I could go on and on about the interview they had and how inspiring it was but there is a certain part that I want to point out for anyone who didn’t see it.  If you’ve seen the movie you’ll most certainly remember the scene where they have no where else to go but this small bathroom and sleep there for the night.  And what’s so amazing about that particular scene is just what Chris Gardner said.  That he was not going to let anything separate him from his son.

If you happened to catch this last night or just know his story you can’t help but be inspired to see someone in the spot he was stop at nothing to give his son a good life.  And what gets me the most is this.  He said that his son was once asked what he remembered most about this time in his life and he said this.

“All I remember is every time I looked up my father was there.”

And it’s things like that that really make us feel all warm inside.  I think about how if ever I was in a position that scared me or made me unsure how great it would be just to be able to look up and see someone standing over you smiling down and knowing that they were never going to leave you.  I think about how great of a feeling that would be and then I remember.  We already have someone who has promised us that never will we be alone.

Ps 23,4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Whenever you are afraid or when your in trouble whatever the situation we can all simply hold our head high and smile cause we know that we are not alone and that we have a God who will never leave us.

“The Pursuit of Happyness” was an amazing movie.  If you haven’t seen it then you owe it to yourself to.  I have yet to read the book but it’s definitely on my list of things to read.  The story is truly inspirational but what we need to take from it is the all that inspiration and put it into action.  Your pursuit of happiness.  That’s what it is.  You have to be the one who will put it into action.  No one else is going to do it for you.
