He swiftly jumps into his carriage (or buggy)
What a charming prince.
Where can she be? Is she in here? Or is she over there?
He searched high and low for her...
but she was no where in sight, but he recognizes her sparkling shoe she left behind.
He examines the shoe, hoping for more information of this princess.
He realizes his present circumstances (his age) and decides to leave it for another day.
A nostalgic memory-- he'll keep wondering where his Cinderella is.As Elijah continues to grow, PJ and I want to prepare him for adulthood early. We often talk about Elijah getting married in the future (if the Lord wills) and dream and hope and pray of how we will strive, by the Lord's grace to prepare him for marriage early too. Sometimes I get sad thinking I won't be the woman in his life but I am reminded that I am not God, and that God may have a wonderful young lady who he will one day call his wife. We pray for her frequently and desire they both will call upon the name of the Lord, live godly lives, remain pure until marriage, her parent's salvation, etc. I also pray and hope that he does not awaken love before he ought to, so he can save himself from physical temptation and emotional attachment too early. As I watched Elijah examine the little girl shoe, it reminded me of his future search of his wife.
Lord, how PJ and I pray they will enjoy displaying Christ and the church accurately, by your grace.
