Mr. Rogers

Mr. Rogers was one of the only shows I remember from my childhood.  As an adult, I feel in love with the man behind Mr. Roger. Fred Rogers was an ordained minister with a huge heart for children. From his program children learned to be more patient, they learned to be more loving, they learned to be more tolerant of others and most important they learned how to be good neighbors.

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.” 
― Fred Rogers

“Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other's achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain.” 
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers

“Real strength has to do with helping others.” 
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers

As you read those quotes what sticks out to you? Is there something you would do differently after reading them? 

Sometime this week, look up an episode of Mr. Rogers and watch it as a family.
