Lesson from the Buttercreamers

Last night i was laying in bed thinking about life and friendships. I like to think about the past the how things were back then. I know we all change and things will never be like that again but it makes me smile when i can't smile now. Anyways as i was thinking i remembered a movie i watched when i was younger called the buttercream gang. It came to my mind because there is a part in there where Scott challenges his friend Pete to hang out with him for one day and have fun just like they did before things changed.
I woke up this morning and watched a couple clips on youtube because i wanted to see that particular clip but i couldn't find it but i found another clip where the dad tells Scott that he just simply needs to love Pete right where he is at.
I started to think about that and realize that i need to do the same. I want things to be better in my life and i want people to change for the better. but i need to accept them for who the are and love them no matter what. Now that doesn't mean that i let them walk all over me and get away with things but it does mean that I need to see that they too are human and that they too go through rough times in life. I need to understand and realize that people are going through things that i might not even know about. I just need to Love them right where they are at and know that Love wins out in the end.
Now how do i love? that i don't know. I am sure i can start with prayer then move from there. Maybe i can show love just by accepting there wishes. I could show love by being patient with them. So i will keep looking further into this but i know that i just need to love them. Its a good reminder for me.
