I loved this book when I was little.
What an amazing story of a little girl who knew she was a princess.
{whose name happened to be Sarah, just like me. I also knew I was a princess.}
She was strong and thought of life as a battle and a complete joy.
{I think of life that way too.}
She had a heart for the "outcast" person and had a way of making them feel loved.
When her world turned up-side down she stayed strong.
“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.” ~Francis Hodgson Burnett
For Valentine's Day, Mom, Sister and I went to see a production of "The Little Princess" and it touched me so much. It reminded me of how much I loved that book and reminded me how much a good story can impact your life.
"You are a story, I am a story."
Was a line in the show...
How all of our lives are stories and none being insignificant in God's big story. The Bible is one big story, and Jesus used stories to teach. Stories are so powerful because we all have a story and relate in some way to another person's story.
And when a wonderful story is portrayed through theater, dancing and music how it touches you in such a deep place. I love being involved in theater, dance and music for that reason. It has such a capacity to impact someone's life. I know mine was impacted by the show last weekend. I was reminded that my life IS a story and is not insignificant no matter how small you can feel.
“There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in--that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies.” ~Francis Hodgson Burnett
Never stop reading the good classic stories. They have so much to offer!
You are a story.
I am a story.
{PS! I have some fun Valentiney sorts of pictures and stories to post soon too when I have time!}
