Tangled
I LOVED this movie! As we was watching it for the first time the story struck me as so profound. Let's see if this sounds familiar: a beautiful young girl is born of royal birth. However, as she gets older she is told lie after lie to try and keep her from fulfilling her full potential. She struggles between believing these lies or going out on her own and finding out who she really is...only to learn she truly is the daughter of the King. HELLO!! I couldn't keep the tears from coming as I thought about this beautiful message. We are ALL daughters and sons of a King, and once we are sent to this earth it is so easy to forget. Satan is everywhere around us, trying to deceive us, tear us down, and doubt our divinity at every turn. By listening to these lies we become trapped, and it is only when we realize these lies for what they are that we can fulfill our true missions on earth and rediscover our divine heritage.
What a powerful message to teach our children! Rapunzel asks her "mother" if she can go out into the world. The "mother" then goes on to fill her with doubts and tells her lie after lie to keep her from leaving her and finding out the truth. Relate the story of Rapunzel to your story. How are we daughter's of our Heavenly Father, a King, and how dose Satan will do everything in his power to lie, deceive and scare us to keep us from reaching our divine potential.
I thought it would be a great for the kids to try and distinguish the lies that Satan would have us believe, and the truths we can receive from a loving Heavenly Father. The truth from Heavenly Father will lead us to our destiny whereas the lie from Satan will lead to a dead end. We will have these crossroads throughout life but finally we will be crowned "Daughter's of a King" and "Son's of a King." The moral is if we listen to our Father in Heaven we CAN reach and find our full potential, as daughters and sons of a King.

Above All Love Each Other
Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, LOVE gives us a fairy tale.

Dana Point - Aliso Creek Beach - Laguna I Do! I Do! I'm so happy that we did !!!
What a beautiful day! I greatly enjoyed the California weather. We relaxed at the beach were I sat watching my little beach babies while admiring my handsome hubby. Mike is the pillar of strength to our family. He gives us unconditional love, security, and guides us with enduring patience. His life is an example of working hard and trusting God. It was reminiscent driving threw Laguna, especially when visiting 'Our Place', at the Tivoli Terrace french gardens where our communion began. I Do! I Do! I'm so happy that we did :-)
