At the end of July we welcomed our 11th grandchild to the world. Hence Seven-Eleven.
It is a delight to see this beautiful little spirit join her eternal
family. She will be loved and taught by parents who adore
her and want her reach her full potential
in life. What a gift to be born to goodly parents who will nurture
you, teach you, protect you, and help you become all that you are
meant to be. Parents who will teach you to shun all that is evil
and ugly in the world because you were born to be great and
they will help you become so. As I ponder this blessing I am reminded
of a great story.
The Story is about the son of King Louis XVI of
France. King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned.
His young son, the prince, was taken by those who dethroned the king.
They thought that inasmuch as the king’s son was heir to the
throne, if they could destroy him morally, he would never realize
the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him.
They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the
lad to every filthy and vile thing that life could offer. They
exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a
slave to appetite. They used vile language around him constantly.
They exposed him to lewd and lusting women. They exposed him to
dishonor and distrust. He was surrounded 24 hours a day by
everything that could drag the soul of a man as low as one could
slip.
For over six months he had this treatment—but not once did the
young lad buckle under pressure. Finally, after intensive
temptation, they questioned him. Why had he not submitted himself to
these things—why had he not partaken? These things would provide
pleasure, satisfy his lusts, and were desirable; they were all his.
The boy said, “I cannot do what you ask, for I was born to be a king.”
Wishing you the best little Greta! You were born to be a Queen!
