Today is a special day for our granddaughter, Trintiy. For her 5th birthday she wanted a girls only Princess Day. Every five year old girl should feel like a princess, but not all of them do. Some families do not even know how to create happiness. I was watching the news a while ago, and a mother and father of an adopted daughter were convicted of starving the little girl who came to them in order to have a better life and find some love. Her blood parents were drug users. Now she will be placed in another home or put in the foster system, hopefully to find some happiness. My prayer is that she may someday have that princess feeling. Of course in The Lord, we are all princes and princesses and when we get to heaven we will have a special place with the King of Kings. It would be nice, however if that little abused girl could find some specialness while still on this earth. I may give up watching TV because so much of it makes me sad.

However, with such wonderful grandchildren, I am always cheered when thinking about them. No two of them are alike, but each is special and deserves to be treated that way. Thank you to all of my children and their spouses who love your kids and treat them with respect. [O.K. so they are all a little spoiled - granddads are allowed to brag (lie) a little.]

Phyllis just got home and said that Trinity had a wonderful party. Trinity, I hope you always feel special.
