Jack & Jill - Lesson 23 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs








Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.
Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.



James 1:14-15

New International Version (NIV)
 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.


Genesis 3

Adam and Eve ... The Fall


It should be easily seen how Jack and Jill can be seen to parallel Adam and Eve's story.  Of course - Eve at of the fruit, but both 'fell' just the same in both!  It is not hard to have a temptation - and as well it is not really hard to do something wrong because of our temptations.  What we must begin to understand is that there are consequences to what we do.  Adam and Eve could no longer stay in paradise because they broke the ONLY rule they had. Over time more and more rules have been thrown on us to battle the grip of sin in our lives - We can do our best to follow them, but know that we have Christ that brings us together to help us all .. and because of that we can help each other!

Wise Old Owl - Lesson 22 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs








A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
 



Proverbs 1:7

New Living Translation (NLT)
 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,
    but fools despise wisdom and discipline.


1 Kings 3

Solomon Chooses Wisdom


We can learn very much about wisdom just from the nursery rhyme - if we use our eyes and ears to see and hear, we will not speak as much because we will be learning more.  When we do speak it will be wisdom coming out - even if it is a question.  Solomon started out his reign as king with wisdom because he started by asking God a question.  Because he did this and then asked for wisdom - he became very wise - actually he is known as the wisest man that ever lived.

We can be wise to.  When we are wise, just like with Solomon - riches, power, and good times are headed our way!

Pussycat, Pussycat - Lesson 21 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs






"Pussycat pussycat, where have you been?"
"I've been up to London to visit the Queen."
"Pussycat pussycat, what did you dare?"
"I frightened a little mouse under her chair"
"MEOWW!"



Acts 5:29

New King James Version (NKJV)
But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.



The Book of Esther

Esther interrupts the King


Most all of us know and understand there are certain rules that we must follow.  If we do - no problems come up - and everyone is, pretty much, happy because of it.  Just like the person having the conversation with the cat in the nursery rhyme, we are amazed to hear how Esther broke a rule that could have gotten her killed. 

Remember that we should still follow rules and do as those in higher authority ask us to, but sometimes it may come up - that what GOD says is more important than what the RULES say.  It is certainly hard to know when we have to do something like Esther did, but when God tells us - we will know!



Doe Doe and The Bearing Through The Tube!!




Sometimes we need to do something that may seem wrong and impossible.. much like what Esther did when she went to the King without an appointment. Doe Doe shows us one of the amazing things that can happen when God asks it to happen!

Ecclesiastes 4:12

New King James Version (NKJV)
  Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.




Exodus 3 and Romans 12 (specifically verse 5)
Moses & Aaron to being the Body of Christ

In the case of Moses, he was fearful that he could not do what God wanted him to so God let Aaron, the brother of Moses, do some things for him.  They worked as a team - and God set it up.  In the ants go marching we see that each time one is 'doing work' it is the littlest among the rest.  If we remember that we are the body of Christ and understand that there are no unimportant parts we can do what God has called us to with joy!
