Today, Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora) attended a Tea Party/Princess School event for over forty young princesses at Valley Family Church. To say that this party was great would be an understatement. Today was one of those days when I got back into my car after a whirlwind 1 1/2 hours, and was smiling ear to ear. Today I felt God touch lives through me (well, through Princess Aurora at least!). To be able to spend time with these young princesses who are just beginning to understand who God is and what it means to live a life for Christ is awesome. What an incredible feeling I get to talk to listening ears and attentive eyes as I talk about what it means to be a true princess for our King Jesus. I just love the Gigi Book Series.
Hearing them answer “Why should princesses always smile and be happy” with “Because we are each unique with special talents” brings so much joy to my heart. When I hear them say they can be a princess for God by “obeying my mom and dad”, “saying please and thank you”, and “be kind to others” lights me up inside.
Our children are our future. If they are already making connections like this at their age, what wonderful things they will be able to accomplish in their futures when they put their lives in God’s hands!
There is a movement happening right now, and we are either a part of it, or outside of it. Days like today remind me I am inside this movement.
Where are you?
