Who's your daddy??

Last weekend Chris and I saw "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief!" It was a fun movie, even though it didn't exactly follow the book. We have always loved mythology and had fun discussing different myths and the gods later that night. I love how the ancient greeks and romans created gods and stories to explain life, and gave each god their own specialties. Since a large part of "The Lightning Thief" is about a boy discovering that he is the son of Poseidon, the god of the ocean, we looked at our own personalities and gifts and determined which gods we were the children of! Mine is Apollo, the god of light, truth, music, and the arts, while Chris's is Poseidon because of his love of the ocean (he feels most at home on a boat with no land to be seen!) and he's a Pisces. ;) As I thought how cool would it be to be a child of a god, I remembered something... I already am! THE God. The one and only. And I felt embarrassed for momentarily forgetting my royal heritage: I am the daughter of a king. Dear readers, never forget how special you truly are. You are all sons and daughters of God and he loves you completely. :)
