Overcoming Hard Times

I was just listening to an interview of a writer/director/actor named Tyler Perry. I have only seen one of his films but I think I need another dose. He has such a great story to tell. He was abused and homeless even into his 20's and is now a millionaire. He is so inspiring. When asked how did you overcome all or your hardships, he stated that it was "his faith and belief in God." Wow. Not everyday do we hear celebrities make those statements. But that is what got him through everything. He wrote about his hardships and basically wrote himself letters. He said that he prayed every day and suggested everyone do the same and to work as hard as you can. He sends a powerful message of hope and faith and it is present in all his works.

My favorite part of his story was when the interviewer suggested that he had a shoe fettish. He initially laughed it off but the admitted that in fact he did. He met a homeless women and recalled his time when he was homeless only having 1 pair of shoes. She asked him for a pair of shoes. I guess she would have taken anything, regardless of the fit. He brought her into the theatre where he was working and found shoes for her and she said, "Thank you Lord, my feet are finally off the ground." That resonated with him and does with me as well. We need to be grateful for all that we have, pray, and work hard every day. That is why he has so many shoes now, to keep his feet off the ground.
