The Princess Prepares Her Heart
Read opening:
Read James 4:6,10

What does it mean to be humble? 
Read Paragraph 1
understanding  not just knowing AND living with a right attitude.

Read paragraph 2
Some things are so valuable and precious we only want very special people to see. Like when Mary, Jesus mother, treasured in her heart what she witnessed in the life of her son and savior. 
Read Luke 2:1-19 and 2:41-51 are two accounts of Mary keeping these treasures in her heart.

Read paragraph 3
Do you remember what we talked about last time we met?...A man with a heart full of himself.
Read paragraph 4…Read Proverbs 2:11 and Ephesians 5:6
What will watch over you…what will keep you safe?

Read paragraph 4
What kinds of things might a man full of pride do or say to impress someone?

Read paragraph 5
I do not want to just point the finger in judgment at someone else when I myself do the very same thing. I want to show compassion and be forgiving as I use wisdom and understanding because I know that I have done the very same thing. But by the grace of God he is renewing my heart and mind every day so that I can be the new creation he has made me to be.

What do we as ladies do or say when we are full of pride and are trying to impress someone?
How does God respond to proud people?
In what ways should your look be different than other girls who dress for attention? Not just outer look but the inner also.
Was the princess wise to send Prince Peacock away?
How can we as mothers teach our daughters to discern motives and character? The best way I see is to be honest with yourself.
 
Pray we would be humble, wise and understanding.
