Samantha turns 4!

Samantha turned 4 on July 9. She is a bundle of girl, wrapped up in the old Mother Goose ditty about the little girl with a curl, just like her Aunt Jenny. There was a little girl , who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid. Samantha can charm a snake, a bug, anything she chooses. But when she wants her way, she morphs into the horrid little girl in Mother Goose.
Sami spins and twirls and dances, and ALWAYS wants a dress on.  She loves baby dolls and kittens and puppies and all the frills of being a little girl.She loves hugs and kisses and cuddling up. But don't ask her to put on a pair of pants or shorts. She definitely displays the characteristics of a true princess, in every sense of the term. What we want her to understand is that she is the daughter of the King, Jesus. I see sparks of spiritual growth in her, and want those sparks to ignite. I pray that she continues to respond to His calling. That she understands to be a princess for Jesus takes more discipline than we can provide on our own, but He will always make a way for us to obey Him. Happy Birthday, little girl!
