"Cinderella is not at the ball - she's at the ballgame with her family, and she's loving life. "Hey batter, batter, batter...swing!" she yells from right field. She's got a baseball glove on her hand and a tiara on her head. The fairy godmother split, and most days Prince Charming isn't, but with the King of the Universe helping her, she's doing just fine.
Sleeping Beauty is not sleeping - she's getting on with her life. At her desk, in her business suit she tells her assistant, "If a prince calls, take his number, and tell him I'll get back with him." She's got her pillow to support her back, not her illusions. She's no longer consumed by thoughts about earthly princes, because she has taken the hand of the Prince of Peace.
And Snow White is dressing down these days in jeans and a white tee-shirt. She's not pretending anymore, because she's given up on "perfect." She's still doing laundry for eight and wondering, "Sneezy? What is this on your shirt?" And these there's still a whistle with the work, because she's discovered Christ, along with Clorox, for life's toughest stains."
