I don't call her princess because she isn't one.
I don't call her princess because she is so many wonderful things - smart, hilarious, sweet, observant, earnest, that the pretense of princess can add nothing to her worth.
In the Bible, God calls us sons and daughters. There is no greater calling than to be a child of God. I believe Jeremiah 29:11, that He has a plan and a purpose for her life and I believe that plan is far greater than anything I could even begin to pray for. I know that as her mom, I am simply the steward of a wonderful gift. I call her mine but I know she is His, and before I ever called her, He did. So I will act accordingly.
I call her to come with me to church and I call her to come with me to the mundane, the exciting, and the challenging situations of everyday life, and there, I call her kind, I call her compassionate, I call her loving and I call her intelligent.
