Anyway this post isn't about analyzing why Frozen is so darn popular and why everyone in the world is having a Frozen themed birthday party (we have been to 4 in the past 2 months).
I know for me, watching my daughter play is something I want to be able to record in my mind forever. Some of the sweet things she says and does make my heart feel like it's smiling. I know it's my job to help guard her heart and to expose her to things that are good, just, lovely and pure like the Bible says. Yes even cartoons! Now I'm not saying FROZEN is bad or evil or anything crazy like that. However, I want to be careful at what I let my daughter become "obsessed" with even if it's just an innocent cartoon.
Don't get me wrong, we have our fair share of Frozen themed everything down to a placemat and slippers. And I can belt out quite the lovely rendition of "Summer" as a duet with Samara. BUT....I don't want this or anything else in her life to become an obsession. My hope is to teach her that the most important thing in her life is not having the latest and greatest "thing" but to have a real and true relationship with God. Yes, even now at five years old because that's when it starts, the obsessions.
It's not an easy task. I need constant reminder and convicting from God to show me how to guide both of my kids in his ways. Never putting other trivial things before Him, that's the goal for us, FOR ME! God's grace is beautiful though because even when I get off track he is there to gently nudge me and remind me.
My little Elsa wannabe can enjoy the beauty of everything whimsical all the while knowing she is the daughter of the king and a true real life princess. Hopefully learning and longing to put Jesus first above all.
And yes of course she is worth melting for.......
Estas haciendo un excelente trabajo con mis tesoros Nena! Sobre todo que pones a tu Señor primero! Proud of you!
