The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I just finish watching this movie. It was way overdue! I've always wanted to see this Disney movie. It was quite good and really made me want go back to Paris and climb up Notre Dame. I just wanted to blog that the character Quasimoto reminds me of the patients we have here. Quasimoto was viewed as ugly, "monstrous", scary and is better "protected" when isolated from the community. He craved for acceptance and freedom. Surprisingly to the Gypsy girl, he was accepted and loved. As with ourselves, there may be areas we do not like about ourselves but God still desires and loves us. Hopefully our patients here also feel loved and accepted by the individuals of Mercy Ships and ultimately by God. May they return back to their community with confidence and joy in loving God and themselves.
