Did You Go & See The Movie "Saving Mr. Banks?" You Should, It Is Good To Know The Background Of The Person That Wrote Mary Poppins. She Lived A Less Than Ideal Life.

When you hear the term Mary Poppins it should bring a smile to your face right? It does to mine. I think of songs that lift your spirit like "Chim Chimeny Chim Chimeny Chim Chim....... and other songs too. Even as an adult to see this movie is endearing. It brings a happy feeling to you and the music just seems to add to the film right? Well, when you go and see the movie I mentioned and see the actuality behind the life of the author of Mary Poppins you will wonder to yourself how could such a family-friendly movie come forth from this life that this author lived as a child. You should really go and see this movie because you can see that even a life lived with a father that drank and lost jobs could turn the hearts of families around by this less than ideal life to bring families to the theatre with a song they may be singing as they leave the theatre.
What do I mean by this? Walt Disney truly saw the good in this project. Maybe he can take the not so lovely story or hurts of others and create it into a healing project not just for the individual but for many. She cherished the characters in the story of Mary Poppins and went to extremes to protect them also. It was through the eyes of Walt Disney that protected these real life characters when taking them to the screen. In the end I do believe that there came a healing to this author and a great breakthrough with healing her heart in the process.
A child sees things only as a child can see it. In the remembering of these events what happened many years prior in their life can make an impact on their life throughout their life. Does that make sense? Think back in your own life. Was there ever a time when you may have been scolded or even you scolded a child for doing wrong? As a child it seems to be so much more magnified in the moment and either good or bad can leave the lasting impression with you. Do not hang onto garbage that may have been dumped on you as a child and even as an adult if it applies to your life right now. Just because someone had a bad day or was ignorant when you were scolded does not mean that it was meant to hurt you for your entire life right? Do not allow someone to change your nature or love because of their flaws or imperfections. You did not ask them to dump their garbage onto your life so now it is time to take that garbage and shed it and throw it into the trash once and for all. Let me remind you that you do not have to live up to the standards of your parents. You carried their junk long enough now get rid of it.
Let me also remind you that yes, as a child or even as an adult one looks for approval of a parent. You may never be blessed to receive this approval from your earthly parents but what counts is that you do receive approval from is your heavenly Father in heaven. That is the approval you should strive to receive. You do know that God sees you as a wonderful work that He created. Did you know that you were created in His image. This is God we are speaking about, yes, His love is so grand in your life that He sent His son, Jesus, to come to the earth and take on the sins of the world for you and then He died on a cross to save you from going to hell for all eternity. That is love and a great love at that do you not agree? All you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive your sins (and we all have sin in our lives.) Each person that asked Jesus into their heart also asked Jesus to forgive their sins. Did you know that? Do not wait until you think you will clean up your life enough to ask for His forgiveness for in the waiting you may die without having Him in your heart/life and the final demise will not be heaven. Let go of all the hurt and sad memories or events that happened in your life today and ask Jesus to heal your heart. He is faithful and He will if you just ask Him with sincerity in your heart.
Just say a simple prayer like this and He will hear you and He will enter into your life and if you do this life will be much more bearable no matter what you are going through. He truly does give you a peace that passes all understanding even in the midst of turmoil. I cannot explain it but I have experienced this many times in my life. What the world would think to themselves how can she go through what she is going through with a smile on her face and peace in her heart. I do believe it is through the love of Jesus in my heart and also my love for Jesus. Yes, that is it.
Just ask Jesus to forgive your sins and ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to change the view that you have in your mind of the words that others may have spoken to you throughout the years and to turn them around. Ask Him to show you how He sees you and your life and trust me when I say this, you will see yourself through the eyes of God and a beautiful smile will come to your face and even in your heart too. He loves you, He loves you, He loves you that is what I am feeling within me to share with you today. The heart of God loves you. Why would not the very ultimate Father in heaven that created you not love you?
Be it good or bad always remember this in the back of your mind. No matter how you see your earthly parents God saw them as the catalyst used to create you and bring you to earth. Yes, to bring your life forth for you were created with destiny and a life to be fulfilled. Think a bit further...you were created with gifts and talents and others need to be reached and touched by your life so they can do what they are called to do with their lives. When you think of it like that and in that perspective I would guess it makes you a bit thankful that God did use them to bring you forth in the world. Be blessed and fulfill what you are called to do in your life. Do not seek total approval of your earthly parents, what is most important is to seek your heavenly Father. He created you and He knows what your gifts/talents are and let Him guide you to the finish line, so one day when your work and life are done here on earth you will hear Him say "well done good and faithful servant, enter into heaven." Yes, that is the ultimate goal  to strive for His approval and it will bring eternal life for you.
Live life to its fullest this very day and seek the Lord for future opportunities to fulfill destiny in your life. Living life this way is truly exciting, it truly is.
