So, this is a bit different post for me.
A friend of mine shared this video with me today. Just. Wow! First the artistry of the film shines brilliantly. The story, though, carries it to great heights.

Thursday Thoughts
Find hope at endings
As they’re a new beginning
Always move forwards

Grace and peace to you my friends!
