This last week I was invited to see Leigh Anne Tuohy speak in my community for a local organization. You might know her, she is the mother of Michael Oher and the real mother from the movie The Blind Side. According to her the movie was pretty accurate. She calls it a miracle that Hollywood didn't screw it up! She was such a passionate woman. Here is a video about from a little over a year ago, that showcases her passion.
Her message that night was to turn around when you see something that is not right. See the morning she saw Michael walking on the side of the road all the bells and whistles went going off in her head. So she turned around. She told us she wasn’t looking to adopt a kid that morning, just help this kid out, simply because he needed it. This is her journey and she uses her journey to help others as you can see in the video. Leigh Anne continued to remind us that “God uses simple people to tell stories”. She told us you don’t have to save the world but do something kind always. She ended the night with The Starfish story.
Imagine all the Michael Oher’s out there that never get a chance. We can’t all go adopt every child that needs us but we all can do something that makes a difference in someone’s life. What if everyone threw one starfish back in?
