Once again I find myself watching a silly movie with my 2 year old. Tonight it was Kung Fu Panda. Great selection right? The funniest part is that I actually learn lessons from these silly movies. Sometimes they even make me cry, if you share that with anybody I will totally deny it.
Well tonight while watching Kung Fu Panda, I caught the part where the wise tortoise tells the bumbling panda that "Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present." It kind of stopped for a minute from what I was doing, and it got me to thinking wow, why do I keep forgetting that? Not only that but it stuck with me for the rest of the evening.
Sometimes we get so caught up in everyday life that we forgot. I do. I have two wonderful gifts that I take for granted daily. I get so wrapped up in everything else, working, cooking, cleaning, washing, that some days they get overlooked and neglected. No matter how hard I try I feel that I fall so short at being a good mommy. Everything that I do is for them, but sometimes in doing everthing for them I don't get to spend that quality time with them. That important one on one time, bonding time. That makes everything that I do for them in vain.
So I will remember daily that today is a gift and that is why it is called the present and I have two of them. Thank you silly movie for reminding me about what really matters!!!
