Today is the first day of National Princess Week. All little girls love princesses. They love to dress up like one in the beautiful gowns and read books about them and watch them in movies. Who doesn't love Belle, Snow White, Ariel or Cinderella?
They are all pretty and they all find their Prince and live happily ever after in a beautiful castle.
These princesses are all make believe. Have you ever thought about the real live princesses or queens? We know a little bit about Princess Diana and Princess Kate as we read about their lives or see them on TV.
You can even go and visit the castle where they live. But today I was thinking about another queen.
Queen Esther came to my mind. She wasn't looking to become a queen but her cousin persuaded her to join the group that put her in a position to be chosen as the king's next queen. We aren't told that she loved her husband and yet she was there to save her people. She has a whole book written about her and there is a real life villain in the story by the name of Haman. There also is a happy ending as the Lord helps her to expose Haman's evil deeds and she saves her people. If you haven't taken the time or don't know about the book of Esther you should look it up. It's in the Old Testament of the Bible. It only has 9 chapters. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy a story that is true and shows how a princess lives one day at a time exactly how the Lord wants her to and obeys and is able to be used of the Lord in saving an entire nation.
Happy National Princess Week!!
