Mufasa's Ghost

This scene evoked a great deal of emotion from me since the morning after I watched it my father passed away and the poignant message of the fictional cartoon paternal lion hit home.  I felt as if my dad was telling me the same exact thing that day.

The message was that to recognize the greatness of God we must first learn to appreciate who we are and what wonderful qualities God bequeathed to us; we, the children of God.  Having a loving father in life is a healthy way to learn how to develop a genuine connection to Hashem, the Creator of the Universe.  If you did not have a father in your life, look forward to being the best father you can be to your own and adopted children.  Living is Giving.  A parent gives the most.
