I think one of the reasons we want so much to be a princess, is because deep inside we are really looking forward to the day we will meet our True Prince, Jesus. I've recently been studying Esther in a Beth Moore study at my church. In the areas Xerxes falls short as Esther's king, the Lord powerfully and overwhelming fills that void. There are multiple references throughout scripture of how we are a "royal priesthood, a holy nation"(I Peter 2:9-10). Revelation 1:6 says, "(He) has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.." Sister, we do have royalty in our blood, through Christ...and we just need to point our favor in the right direction. Wouldn't it be sweet to see your daughter's devotion to Prince Charming someday be turned towards her devotion to King Jesus?

It has taken years of marriage to finally realize that hubs cannot read my mind! And I have that sulking thing down! I have to get over myself and let hubby know what I want - he wants me to be happy. But I have also had to ask him to clearly spell out what he thinks and expects. Sometimes I find that I haven't been "reading his mind" quite as well as I thought! :) .-= Lisa @ Stop and Smell the Chocolates´s last blog post ... <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/StopAndSmellTheChocolates/~3/2fDchV0pgGw/works-for-me-wednesday-hosting-holiday.html" rel="nofollow">Works-For-Me-Wednesday: Hosting Holiday Meals</a> =-.

I would (personally) start by cutting out any Disney princess movies - they feed the myth. I would read/tell her stories about Ruth and Boaz, Esther and Xerxes, Abraham and Sarah, etc. Tell her that we are all sinners, and her husband will be too, but we can pray for a good man. As she gets older, have her search out the things that make a good man - a good work ethic, a leader, compassionate, gentle, strong, etc. Point out these things in her daddy. Have her daddy talk to her about a good man. In fact, the more time and discipleship her own daddy gives her, the more she will want to choose a good, real man. :) Shannon – great question!

Here's a thought I would love some feedback on: I have an almost 3 year old who is in LOVE with Disney princesses (she has only heard me tell her the stories, hasn't even seen all the movies!) which launched our "you can pray for your prince to come someday - right now"-talk. But how can we de-mystify and simplify our role in discovering and allowing our Prince Charming's to be who God created them to be for us? It's hard enough for me to unwrap myself from society's yarn about Prince Charming- let alone for me to figure out how to teach it to my little one. Thoughts? Applications? Let me have 'em! =) Thanks! This is FABULOUS!!

Thanks for illustrating so beautifully that Prince Charming is just the cardboard cutout, and our husbands are the living, breathing, flesh-and-blood REAL THING! We got the better deal!! Cinderella can have the handsome prince--I'll keep my very own handsome love-of-my-life who is not "easy" in the Prince Charming way, but is so powerfully pursuing God and who is SO on my side it takes my breath away! He is a son of the King, which is infinitely better than any fairytale prince!! .-= Shaunie Friday´s last blog post ... <a href="http://upthesunbeam.blogspot.com/2009/10/living-color-in-greyscale-world.html" rel="nofollow">Living Color in a Greyscale World</a> =-.
