A Lesson from Veggie Tales

Yesterday was a bad day...a really long bad day...a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Okay, it wasn't really that bad, but you know what I mean. Before we went to church I let the kids watch an old Veggie Tales that we hadn't watched in a while. I was unloading the dishwasher when I heard Junior Asparagus singing a beautiful song. I stopped and came into the living room and watched it. It almost made my cry (that's the kind of day I'm talking about). It was such a sweet reminder of God's love for me. I couldn't find any video of it, but here are the lyrics. Be encouraged by Junior Asparagus today!

In my bed I start to pray
And tell God all about my day

I woke up in my little bed
And put my hat upon my head
Cleaned my room and cleared my dishes
Told Mom breakfast was delicious

I went to school, learned something new
I tried to follow every rule
I studied my vocabulary
Had some fun with Bob and Larry

And so it's good to know
How much you love me
It's true, the Bible says you do
You really love me
Your love was with me all throughout my day

I somehow overlooked my bed
It seems my dog is underfed
Forgot to change my underclothes
Watched one too many TV shows

I had some trouble sharing toys
And during rest time, made some noise
The walls are not for coloring
Sometimes I'm off-key when I sing

And so it's good to know
How much you love me
It's true, the Bible says you do
You really love me
Your love was with me all throughout my day

In my bed so quietly
I rest in knowing
God loves me.

How sweet! So much truth in children's songs. Thanks for the reminder of our Father's everpresent and unconditional love.
