Mr Bean

I'm sure we've all sat and watch an episode of Mr Bean. The Character thought up and brought to life by Rowan Atkinson.

Much of the time I sit there just cringing at the stupid things Mr Bean does, but also in fits of laughter at the way it comes across. Even my two Boys Ben (7) and Edward (3) don't stop laughing at the silly antics and madness of Mr Bean.

Like a modern day clown Rowan Atkinson knows how to keep an audience captivated and trying to guess what he's going to do next. When he does something stupid or wrong we all just want to tell him to stop, when we see whats coming we want to jump into the TV and stop it. But when it happens we cant help but smile.

Mr Bean is one of those characters that we all love. A bit mad maybe a bit dull maybe but look at Mr Bean you ll see that under the madness and things that make us laugh we see a lonely man with a teddy as his best friend, and the people he meets don't often seem to want to be near him for long.

Its easy to for us to turn to people in a time of crisis, but not so easy to be there for them when they need a helping hand or a listening ear. These skills are sometimes the best skills to learn and to help someone through the tuff times is not only a massive task but can also be a pleasure.

Jesus never look down on anybody and he never looked and said that anybody was a no Hopper. In Fact he look at everybody as a person and a weapon to be used for the good of God.

We may know people that we think are bad people (some are) but we should also try and see the good in them. We may know someone like Mr Bean and really don't want to be near them for as long as we have to, but how about trying to see people through Jesus eyes and look for the good in everyone.
