http://www.secondbaytown.org/childrens-ministry-blog/ The Father Daughter Princess Breakfast was a beautiful event.  It was so much fun seeing those daddies bring their "little princesses" in and taking care of them during our time together.  They made crafts, played games, took pictures, colored, and the little ones had a princess parade.  The highlight of the breakfast was when Cinderella showed up to greet the girls.  Our morning ended with Cinderella reading a story to all of the girls "There's a Princess in Me."  It talks about how God made each girl and no matter how they act or what might go wrong in their lives, "God is growing a princess inside of them if they will allow her to come out." I encourage all dads to continue to spend some one-on-one time with their princesses.  Don't forget to take her out on a date so she will know how to act when a "real date" comes along.  She will treasure those memories forever.  I remember as a girl and as a teenager, my dad taking me out "on a date."  In fact, he took me on a date even after I was married.  Dr. James Dobson just came out with a brand new book, "Raising Up Girls."  It is a great book and Dr. Dobson wrote a book "Raising up Boys" which has been on the market for a number of years and has sold more than a million copies.  I encourage you to check it out and spend some time preparing how to raise a godly young lady.
