I was home one Friday night with cancelled plans and nothing to do. Dad was out of town, I think, and due to the tumor, Mom's brain wasn't functioning as it once had. So I took it upon myself to entertain her! The movie had just barely come out on DVD and I was dying to see it again. I hopped in the car, ran to Smith's and picked up a copy. We spent the night watching it together :) She pointed out the wonderful similarities between the plot and our Heavenly Father's plan. He desires that we look to the light and let it lead us back home. He hopes that the light will teach us our true identity... that we are sons and daughters of a King. But he knows the journey won't be easy for us. We will face wicked witches who do everything to keep us from learning who we are and people trying to steal our crown. But she also pointed out that Repunzel went through the whole thing with a smile on her face and a song in her heart. She changed the world around her along the way.
I'm so grateful for canceled plans, and a mother who taught me so many wonderful things!
