Kung Fu Panda

Our church rented a theater so we could watch the movie Kung Fu Panda for Father's Day. I was not really keen on the idea...wasn't on my list of *must-see movies*...but I knew the littles would enjoy it. I ended up getting so much out of it...apparently I was in a very thoughtful mood that day!

The Master Turtle said...

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...
That's why they call it the present.

That just so hit me! I've heard it before...*live in the moment*...*don't worry about tomorrow*...but it sure did strike me when I heard it in the movie! And it's changed my perspective.

Master Turtle also used the analogy of water being stirred up. There was something on the bottom of the pond and he used a stick to stir up the water and make the point that as long as the water was stirred up, you couldn't see clearly. Boy, have I used that one on myself a lot lately. It's encouraged me to get rid of all the garbage that's stirring up my mind and just *live in the moment* and get to place of peace. Then I can hear the still, small voice of God!
