Inspiring Quotes for Caregivers — 2/18/09
Last week I wrote a post that included this sentence:
“And we certainly can use more love in this crazy world!”
Later that same day I visited one of my favorite blogs called The Jungle of Life and watched a video that completely brought my words to life!
The video is called “A Game of Hope,” and it’s a story about a high school football game, but so much more! It’s about caring, compassion and adding love to this world, in a most unusual way. It illustrates in a completely different arena (or football field) the type of love caregivers shower on their care recipients . . . and beyond.
This video is about five minutes long. By minute three my eyes were full of tears, and by minute four the tears were dripping down my face.
I think it will be the best five minutes you spend in a long time!
Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
If you have trouble viewing the video, click here.
A huge thank you to Lance fromThe Jungle of Life for sharing this video with the blogosphere and the TLeC community!

Hi Linda,
I think you know how I feel about this. It is such a powerful statement to what just a little caring and love can do for someone. And now I want to watch this again Linda – and I’m at work – I’ll be back later tonight for a real lift to my day! And probably to shed a couple of tears…tears of joy in what compassion can do in our world today…in many different places… Thanks so much for keeping this story alive in our hearts!
Hi Linda,
Everyone needs hope in their life– thanks for sharing this story.
I hope it spreads like wildfire and that situations like this become the norm and not the exception!
Hi Lance,
I love this story so much that I’m not posting a Funny Fridays this week because I want this to stay at the top of my blog longer. The more who see it, the better! It’s a keeper for life IMO!
Hi Mary,
Yes, it would be wonderful if this video “goes viral” and more people embrace its powerful message! You can help spread the word!
Hi Linda – Thank you for spreading the love with this video. It’s such a powerful message. Those boys found hope when they thought there was none, and love in the most unexpected place. Beautiful!
Yes Linda, I saw this video too, but sent to me by someone else. I too was moved by the spontaneous outpouring of goodwill that changed the hardened teenagers. Yes there still is hope for mankind.
Another video that came my way is this:

Hi Barbara,
It was my pleasure to keep this video going. So happy you could experience it’s very special message. I’ll take love and hope any day!
Hi rummuser,
Thanks for sharing your video with me. That is an equally wonderful story! Simple actions in life can be so powerful. Jason will never forget the love the other students poured down on him, will he?
what a wonderful video of hope, caring and compassionn. It was wonderful to see how a school could come together to raise the hopes of the 14 young men who may have made a mistake in the past. I commend the coach for encouaging his fans (family memebers, friends and visitors). I wish more individuals had this caring spirit and would show an act of kindness to others.
