My girls are children after my own heart. And in this instance, I mean that when they like a show or movie, we watch it over... and over... and over... and over again. So many times, in fact, that we can all quote and sing along with the entire show! =) And we LOVE "Frozen". The girls all share their favorite parts, and then they ask what my favorite parts are.
Well, one of my favorite parts is the song "Fixer Upper". The trolls point out various "undesirable" traits in Kristoff. But they go on to say that these undesirable traits are no reason for Anna to withhold her love. Because we all have undesirable traits, and act in ways that are unloving.
"Bulda: We're not sayin' you can change him,
'Cause people don't really change.
We're only saying that love's a force
That's powerful and strange.
People make bad choices if they're mad,
Or scared, or stressed.
Throw a little love their way.
Female Trolls: Throw a little love their way.
Bulda and Female Trolls: And you'll bring out their best."
I also love the fact that "true love", in the song (and in the movie, for that matter), is not limited to romantic love.
"Everyone's a bit of a fixer-upper,
That's what it's all about!
Cliff: Father!
Female Troll 3: Sister!
Male Troll 6: Brother!
All Trolls: We need each other to raise
Us up and round us out."
Basically, I think that the portrayal of love in "Frozen" is wonderfully accurate.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
