My kids love Frozen! I bet we have seen it a hundred times. They love the movie, and they love the music. A few months ago my son went through a phase where he refused to wear his socks on his feet. He felt they were more properly suited as gloves because they had the power to transform him into Elsa.
Luckily, I have convinced him to keep his socks where they belong, at least in public. But I cannot keep him from singing the song. In fact, as I was getting dressed this morning, he was entertaining himself with a bravado performance of his beloved soundtrack.
His concert was annoying me. As I was fixing my hair, I was trying to make a mental list of all of the things I needed to do today. After all, it's Christmastime and schedules seem to be busier than ever. I put down my curling iron with the intention of instructing him to quiet down. But just as I approached him, his little brown eyes locked with mine and with a smile, he said, "Hey Momma, wanna sing with me?"
I laughed as I considered the words of his song, "Let It Go." I think I really needed to hear that this morning. Sometimes I do need to slow down just a little, let my "to do" list wait a short while, and enjoy the blessings right in front of me.
We were five minutes late to Mother's Day Out this morning. That's five minutes less I have for my long list of errands. But it's also five minutes that I spent laughing, dancing and singing with my son, and that may be the most important thing I do today.
Promise for today:
1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
