Dear God, we appreciate all the things you give us but most of all we value who you make us to be. Guide us to be the people you hope we become. In Jesus' name, amen.

Princess, or Not?


Once upon a time there was a little girl and nobody knew if she was a princess or not. Let's see what you think.

Emma played in dirt...she did not practice tea time! Do you think Emma was a princess?

Emma wore shorts and t-shirts...she did not wear dresses! Do you think Emma was a princess?

Emma wore a cowboy hat...not a crown! Do you think Emma was a princess?

Emma sang as loud as she could...she did not use her inside voice! Do you think Emma was a princess?

Emma was very bossy...she did not ask politely! Do you think Emma was a princess?

Emma played with every child...she did not just play with princes and princesses! Do you think Emma was a princess?

So what do you think? Was Emma a princess or not?

Of course she was! Every girl is a princess!
