Queen of Hearts - Lesson 30 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and
vowed he'd steal no more.

Ephesians 4:28

English Standard Version (ESV)

 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

 

Joshua 7

Achan's Theft

No matter the account of theft, even one in 'nursery rhyme' form, there are serious consequences for committing the act.  The Knave is beat and decides to never steal again, Achan did not get the luxury of being able to change his mind of the act.  It is true he likely decided to never steal again, but due to the nature of his theft, he and his family were killed.  Would you rather take the chance now to decide that stealing is not a good idea, or end up in a place where your consequences are so great that you have no life to live that choice?

Mary Had A Little Lamb - Lesson 28 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about till Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?" the eager children cry;
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know" the teacher did reply.

Deuteronomy 31:6

New International Version (NIV)

Be strong and courageous.Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 Exodus 13 & 14 

Israelites being led by God

Mary's little lamb has an almost crazy connection to Christ always being with us.  The lamb is always with her, but goes to school - against the rules - and politely waits for her to return to be with her again.  When exiting Egypt the Israelites had some of the most amazing experiences with God.  To be able to follow Him as a cloud, or by fire would be amazing.  They did not move unless God moved - and even when it seemed that God was not with them, He was their rear guard protecting them from their enemies.  God is like this for us as well, and that is something to be grateful for!

Three Little Kittens - Lesson 24 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

 

Three little kittens they lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear

Our mittens we have lost.

What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

No, you shall have no pie.

The three little kittens they found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,

Our mittens we have found!

Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,

And you shall have some pie.

Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,

Oh, let us have some pie.

The three little kittens put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie;

Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear

Our mittens we have soiled.

What! soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then they began to sigh,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

Then they began to sigh.

The three little kittens they washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

Oh! mother dear, do you not hear,

Our mittens we have washed!

What! washed your mittens, then you’re good kittens,

But I smell a rat close by.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

We smell a rat close by.

Psalm 19:14

New International Version (NIV)

 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
   be pleasing in your sight,
   LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Genesis 4

Cain and Abel - Giving The pleasing sacrifice

Just like the three little kittens, Cain and Abel had a chance to do right by an authority figure, but unlike in the case with the kittens - the two brothers did not act the same way.  Abel's sacrifice was the first born and best of what he had, while Cain's is presumably not.  God even gives Cain a chance to admit his mistake and warns him of the sin that can be birthed by his anger.  IT is important that anything we do for those in authority over us - is the best we can do.  God wants us to happily do things in such as way that we are doing them for Him directly.  Our attitudes are a big part of that!  Will you be like Abel, or Cain?  We also need to remember that there is nothing that WE can do to make it 'all better' so we have to trust in God and accept Christ within us to properly 'do right' by God.  In the way we accept the sacrifice of Christ we show whether we will have sin birthed within us - or if that sin will be cleansed.

Hey Diddle Diddle - Lesson 18 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

 

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Matthew 19:26

New International Version (NIV)

  Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

1 Kings 18:20-40

Elijah and the Prophets of Baal

There are many impossible things in Hey Diddle Diddle, but we know that our God can do the impossible!  When Elijah went against the prophets of Baal in a 'contest' to have their God take the offering they each offered.. The impossible happened.  Even though there was a drought Elijah 'gave' water onto the alter where fire needed to appear.  The fire not only took the offering but also left the ground dry.  The prophets of Baal even being numbered to 500 could not call this power down!  Our God is the only God.. the God that CAN do the Impossible!

Row Row Row Your Boat - Lesson 17 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

    

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT,

GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM,

MERRILY MERRILY MERRILY MERRILY

LIFE IS BUT A DREAM.

Colossians 3:23-24

New King James Version (NKJV)

²³ And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, ²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for^[a] you serve the Lord Christ.

Acts 16:16-40

Paul and Silas In Prison

Just as in the silly song for this lesson the rowers are 'merrily' doing their work - so did Paul and Silas.  Being sent to prison for casting out a spirit possessing a slave girl, instead of being beaten and giving up, Paul and Silas are praying and singing about God's glory.  God releases them from their bonds, but likely due to their joyous attitudes they stay there and are able to talk and commune with the Jailer's family.. ending with that entire family getting saved and baptized!  God really pulls off miracles and usually never how we would expect it to happen! Be joyous in all that you do!

Old Mother Hubbard - Lesson 16 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

    
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor little doggie had none.

Philippians 4:19

New International Version (NIV)

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

1 Kings 17:7-16

Elijah and The Woman

Old Mother Hubbard likely felt much like the woman in this bible story.  The good thing is that even though there was a drought and it was very possible this woman and her son would die, God stepped in when they were in need.  Their trust in this man of God saved them - and in the end themselves - the boy literally regained his life in the story.  God is amazing and we should truly trust in Him to provide us our needs and not worry about everything around us! 

Mr. Derek talks about when God fed a man by ravens and then the miracles that happened with an old woman and her son.

Jack Sprat - Lesson 15 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

    

Jack Sprat could eat no fat

His wife could eat no lean

And so betwixt the two of them
They licked the platter clean

Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat

Jack Sprat was wheeling,
His wife by the ditch.
The barrow turned over,
And in she did pitch.

Says Jack, "She'll be drowned!"
But Joan did reply,
"I don't think I shall,
For the ditch is quite dry.".

Ezra 8:23

New Living Translation (NLT)

²³ So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.

Daniel 1

Daniel's diet under Babylon

Jack Sprat and His wife each had different diets that they lived by and the Israelite did as well, but when they were under the rule of Babylon they were being forced to eat foods that God had made clear were not 'clean' to eat.  By convincing the ones over them that they could eat just vegetables and drink water and still be strong and healthy God blessed them with knowledge and wisdom that made them very important to the king.  When we fast we are not doing it to be hungry or to lose weight, we do it to give to God to show him our devotion to Him in our lives. Jesus even mentioned how important fasting is when we face a problem that is not easily solved.  God wants you to be strong and healthy, as well as wise and intelligent - do not be afraid to give something up for a little while for that gift to come to you!!

The Storyteller presenting Jack Sprat!!








Doe Doe and The Strong Fasters!!







Doe Doe shows the Lakewood kids what happened with Daniel and his friends when they ate what God wanted them to, instead of doing what was forced upon them!
