A great gift

"'God gave this gift to you on the day you were born,' said the queen, 'because He loves you so dearly.' 'And now,' continued the king, 'this kiss is yours to keep... or to give away, as you see fit. But use wisdom, my daughter,' warned the king, 'and save your kiss for the man you will marry. Never part with it for the sake of a stranger'" (excerpted from The Princess and the Kiss, by Jennie Bishop).

Thanks for the comments, everybody.
I like the Princess and the Kiss so much because it tells the story of purity so even young children can understand.

Hannah, thank you for commenting. I found your blog through the Ulmers, also, and I check it often. :)
