Princess Daughters

Two questions are often asked of my daughters.

Me: “Are you a princess?”

Lily or Abby: “Yes!”

Me: “Whose princess are you?”

Lily or Abby: “Daddy’s!”

This short conversation is one of the more important ones that I have with my two daughters.  It is so important that my girls know that they are loved by me and special to me.  I do love them dearly and want to make sure that they always know that.

We recently went to Disney World for a final visit before we uproot our family to Seattle. Disney sets up a studio where the children can go in and meet the princesses. My daughters live for this!

In a conversation with Sleeping Beauty the girls were asked, “Who is your prince?”  They responded as you might expect. “Daddy“, they said.

What Sleeping Beauty said next put a giant smile on my face.  She responds with, “And you know that he is the only prince you can have until you are 33.”  Great work Sleeping Beauty!!!

Ok, so I don’t really want my girls to wait until they are 33 but it is important to me that I do the best I can to model the type of prince I would like them to choose.

I pray for my girls, that I honor God as a dad and that they would know the love of my Dad in heaven.  Only by His power and in participation with Him as their dad and prince will we see our girls live in to God’s purpose for them.

Here’s a little clip of my princesses in action…enjoy!
