My hands-down, FAVORITE movie, when I was a little girl, was "The Rescuers."
I don't know if my mom remembers, but she bought me the soundtrack. (This was before the time of videos. It was an album! Now I'm really dating myself!)
I remember listening to that album every day, and several times a day on the weekends. I can still picture myself- laying on the floor in front of the stereo- looking at the album cover as I played the album over and over and OVER again! My FAVORITE SONG was this one I have linked below.
I'm amazed at how this song is coming full circle in my life as I pray the prayer of this song for my own daughter! It's so strangely amazing. Why did I love that song so, when I was so little? I always wondered why I was so drawn to this particular song, of all the songs in that movie? How could I even fully understand it? Could it be? Was God planting a seed in my heart way back then? I know it sounds so corny, but I think so. All I know is that I bawled as I made the connection tonight. You know how something can strike you, almost from out of nowhere, and at that point in time, you suddenly realize the significance of something you never realized before..?
It JUST came back to me, as I was posting my last post, and I said, "Be strong little one."
I think they changed the end a little though, in this clip... I don't know... I remember Penny and Rufus, the cat, having a conversation afterwards. Rufus had been encouraging Penny to keep the faith that she was going to have a family one day, and after the song, Penny felt better and told Rufus she believed him that somebody would want to "dopt" her.
Does anyone else remember it differently than this clip? It's been soo long- my memory could be quite fragmented! I think I need to see if I can get a copy of the movie.
