my 4 girlie pies deserve the best...
one of the things we talk about from the time they can understand is purity and saving your kisses and yourself for the man you marry.
one of the things we talk about from the time they can understand is purity and saving your kisses and yourself for the man you marry.
purity is one of those things that we don't ever hear in this society...and when we do, kids giggle and parents all too often toss their hands in the air and say it's a lost cause. it's not, btw. in the era of the bachelor where we kiss and have sex to find our true love, our kids deserve more.
beat the lost cause attitude by talking...and talk with your kiddos from the time they are very young about how they and their bodies are special gifts from god. and that the gift of purity is to be a special thing to share only with their spouse. when that dialog begins early, i promise it will be easier later!
enter a super fab way to introduce your kids to what purity means in a way that is non-confrontational and a beautiful book...
the princess and the kiss
this book is more than amazing! the story is of a princess who receives a gift of her first kiss and she has to choose to keep it or give it away. the story is a great illustration of 1 timothy 1:5:
"love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith."
and i don't have boys, but jennie bishop just released a boy version clad with swords and dragons and no kissing called "the squire and the scroll".
i'm telling you, hearing my hubs read this book to my b and jk just makes my heart grow 3 sizes...it's amazing...not just for me, but for the girls. and my girlies are worth the teaching.

That is a very cool book, I will definitly be looking into that... Mine are still young but my boy is in school (he is 6) and already he is telling me that girls tell him they love him. We can't leave school without atleast 2 of the little girls running after him to give him hugs! Hugs in kindergarten! Thank you for introducing that book. I had no idea such thing existed...
BTW-I gave you an award. Stop by my blog and pick it up!
Great picture too...I am sure it melts your heart as well.

I'll look into the book - always like a good book.
my daughter is nearing the teen years and I look forward to such mother-daughter talks getting more in debt. I love the way you put it to remind them their bodies are a gift from God.
