This past Saturday, Compass Point Kidz hosted our first Princess Tea! What a special day we had. I am a little bit of a princess fanatic. I love frilly pink prettiness and dressing up, and sparkles – all of that stuff. So this day was extra fun for me! Beyond all the sparkle, there was an intentional purpose to the day. We wanted to make our little girls feel special, and we wanted them to be treated like royalty. Some may think encouraging little girls in this way is silly, but as a girl who struggled for many years with self image, and the true meaning of beauty – I think that telling our girls that they are beautiful and loved is a positive thing. I believe that words of life were spoken into their young lives, and my prayer is that in their hearts was also planted a seed that will grow and that they will remember how loved they are by Jesus – their Heavenly Father. He is referred to as the “King of Kings” in the Bible. So really, as his children, as his “daughters” – we really can call ourselves princesses! The media that our children are exposed to has distored beauty and what that means, many young girls look at that and judge themselves accordingly. I trust that our celebration, made them realize that they are special just the way they are, and that the beauty of the heart is also of great value, and part of being a true princess.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this event amazing! It was a day I won’t soon forget! Now, off to plan the Boyz Bash….from princesses to lizards……yikes….
