We watched Black Stallion today and part of it really affected Princess. In the movie the boy gets shipwrecked and his father dies and he is all alone with the horse on an island. Princess, with big tears in her eyes was asking where his grandma and grandpa were and why they weren't taking care of him. Then she really started to tear up and asked if Daddy, and Mommy, Brother Bear, and Cowboy all died would she be all alone too? While it was heart wrenching to see her make this connection and get so emotional about the possibility, it did afford me a great opportunity to talk with her about Jesus.
Me: Ah honey, you will NEVER ever be alone because Jesus and Heavenly Father will always be there for you.
Princess: but don't I have to die to see Jesus? or go on a rocket ship off Earth?
Me: No. But you know, if you ever want Jesus you can pray and you may not see Him, but you can always feel Him - just like you can feel a blanket wrapped around you.
Princess: Hmmm...ok. But I definitely do not ever want to go on a ship. Or you neither! No ships.
She melts my heart.

AWE! How sweet. Good job on explaining it to her! I liked it. You can also tell her that she also has LOTS of family that would jump at the chance to be with her.
What a sweet story and a great teaching opportunity!
That is so sweet! A tender heart, for sure.
this is darling :)
