Yesterday I spent the morning at the dentist. Again. Receiving my fifth crown. <sigh>
I have so many crowns I should be queen by now.
But, in fact, I’m a princess. The adopted daughter of King Jesus.
That’s a mighty high station to have attained for someone
not of noble birth. It’s also a reputation I need to seek daily to live up to.
I’m grateful for our medical technology that has advanced to
the point where a tooth can be saved; a smile preserved; function restored.
Now, every time I brush and floss; gargle and check, I will have one more
reminder that I am the daughter of the King of the universe.
One more reminder that Jesus died to make it so.
One more reminder that I have the best reason in heaven and
on earth to smile. I am loved and treasured.
And so are you.
PRAYER: Thank you Father God for adopting me into
your family. Thank you for giving me real and eternal reason to smile. Help me
live this one and only earthly life for your purpose and for your glory—today
and every day. Amen.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? What daily reminder do you look to
that you have been adopted into the family of God?

LOL Carol, I think I'll crown you the queen of segues! Great post!
Very cute Carol !!
My daily reminder... I have a "thorn in the flesh" ... and I'm very thankful for it :-)
Going to the dentist is just about at the top of my "HATE to do" list. Thank you for the new perspective. :/
@ Lynn, Chris and Pam - all of you made my day!
