Same Kind of Different as Me

This book has been sitting in my library for a number of years, but recently my wife and I started reading it again in anticipation of seeing the movie later this week. Check out some of the quotes from the book. 

“But sometimes we has to be thankful for the things that hurt us,' I said, 'cause sometimes God does things that hurts us but they help somebody else.” 

“The Word says God don't give us credit for lovin the folks we want to love anyway. No, He gives us credit for loving the unlovable.” 

“Bein friends is like bein soldiers in the army. You live together, you fight together; you die together.”

“When you is precious to God, you become important to Satan.”

“Our limitation is God's opportunity. When you get all the way to the end of your rope and there ain't nothin you can do, that's when God takes over.” 

“I found out everybody’s different – the same kind of different as me. We’re all just regular folks walkin down the road God done set in front of us. The truth about it is, whether we is rich or poor or something in between, this earth ain’t no final restin place. So in a way, we is all homeless – just workin our way toward home”
