Isn't that so cool? The crown says, "Jesus is my King." Can you picture it? All those little cherubs in Sunday School, hearing that they are beloved princes and princesses in the Kingdom of God at the very same time we women (not so little and maybe not quite so cherubic) hear the same wonderful, amazing good news in our class. I guess God wants to make sure we get the picture! ;-)
May we, like little children, rejoice shamelessly in our royal heritage!
Thanks for sharing this, Becky. I think I'm feelin' a little of that throbbing and swelling Beth talked about; God is so good and faithful, isn't he?

I thought the same thing, when Isabella came running to me to show me her "Jesus crown"! God's timing is perfect!
About God's timing--it really is perfect, and I'm finding it's one of the ways I can see him best. I mean, we don't have a pillar of fire by day or miracles on a regular basis where he shows his presence in a big way, so sometimes it's hard to not feel distant from him. But then when I'm actively in his word, reinforcements of what he's telling me there seem to pop up in lots of different ways. It's not that he's telling me anything different from what the Word says or anything new that isn't already in the Bible, it's just that he puts that message into my world in so many different ways that really can't be explained by coincidence. It reassures me that he is here and he is active in my life.
When I saw Hunter after Sunday School I was literally speechless. I just stood there and smiled like crazy. What a beautiful reminder of the message we heard on Sunday. I do have to say that he has been wearing that crown for quite a bit these last 2 days....God's reminder to me... Thank you Lord!
We are planning a trip to Disney in October for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and the girls in our group decided that we would dress up as Princesses. We have been so excited about dressing up as Princesses and wearing tiaras, so when Beth Moore was talking about her Princess experience, I was teary-eyed listening to her tell about how magical is was for her.
I just love those "real life" reminders! Will you ever again look at a crown or tiara as anything but a symbol of who you are in Christ? That's so cool!
Just don't spend too much time at Burger King-it's not so great for your health. ;-)
