Ah how cute … isn’t she … she is one of my granddaughters … and like me, she is a “princess”… When her
and her sister were very small we would play “dress up” together and play their
favorite game “Pretty, pretty princess”… the goal was to see how fast you could
collect all the pieces to be “The princess who wins the game” … you had to
collect a ring and wear it, a necklace and wear it and finally the crown (when
you got that you won the game!) … Much to the delight of this little girl and
her sister their father (my son-in-law) would play the game many times with
them… and I would walk into the room and see my 6 foot tall son-in-law wearing
a necklace, a ring and sometimes even a crown! It made me laugh and think …wow this man is
such a good father …
And I thought about what Jesus said about “Our Heavenly Father”… what
good father (on earth) gives his child a rock, when he asked for bread… would a
father give his child a snake, when he asked for a fish … if you on earth know how
to be good fathers how much more does your heavenly Father know how to provide
good things for you … I smiled and thought to myself, I bet our Heavenly Father would even play
pretty, pretty princess with a child in heaven … to make them giggle …
On another occasion my son-in-law and I were talking, about men who
cheat on their wives … My son-in-law quickly corrected me and said this … “men
do not cheat on their wives, boys do”… wow … I love that statement and what
wisdom therein … so grow up all “you boys” who are married, be a man and play
Pretty, pretty princess with your daughter!
