Now Fly! Fly!: Marry Poppins

 So, Obedience only works when you actually listen and follow through on the actions. Sometime the rules don't make sense, or the things asked of you make less sense. Like snapping you fingers and it cleans your room. 

Marry Poppins is a 1964 film about a seemingly magical Nanny that comes the Banks House to take care of Jane and Michael. She expect everything to be "spit spot" and for the children to listen to her when asks them to do something. She seems rather stern with the kids, but really she cares for them and know that sometimes following rules can actually make your life better, even when not listening seems like more fun. Really, she is there to make the Bank's family closer, since Mr. Banks and Mrs. Banks seem to not see much past the end of their own nose. 

This, or course, is a classic film that I have seen many times in my life. I have quoted it, and wished that I could laugh to hard that I could float. Every time I hear someone with a unique laugh, I always hear the different ways Marry Poppins and Bert laugh to show how many different types there are. 

However, asked myself what is the lesson about obedience should I take away from this movie? Well thankfully, the movie gave me  direct quote.

"In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and snap, the job's a game."

In reality when it comes to my faith, there have been times where I am getting up in the morning and follow a schedule. It allows for time for me to read my Bible, Pray, and spend some very much needed time with God. When I do follow it I feel so at peace, and like walking into the world focused and not stressed. It's not a game but there is an element of fun when I am obedient in my walk. 

Like I have said, this last year has been heartbreaking and I  can't get myself to do much more than what I need to do. However, here is the truth. I need to have that time more than I need anything else. I am not just now sure why I mentally dread it now. 

I know that that was in issue before last year's drama started, but it's only escalated. The times in the last year that I have made myself get up and do everything I feel so much better! Then something happen and I skip and it all goes down hill. 

I know that consistency is something that I need to really focus on this coming month.
