Little Teapot - Lesson 3 of Nursey Rhyme and Silly Songs
I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout:
Tip me over
and pour me out!
Psalm 139:14 KJV
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
In Luke 22:54-62 Peter denies his affiliation with Christ. He does it three times, even after Jesus asked him specifcally that number of times if he (Peter) loved Him (Jesus). This is a perfect example of someone beating themselves up. It may not be because of his looks or anything like that, it was just who he was and who he was with. Peter was afraid to be killed with Jesus - we all may have done the same in this situation. The teapot was happy about themselves - and the job that he has - Peter needs to be restored to be happy again. This happens in Acts 2:14 when Peter has the boldness and stand up for God there.
Doe Doe shows us what happens when we are not happy with who we are.. how we beat ourselves up.. and who can put us back together! Object Lesson for Lesson 3 of the Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs Curriculum : The Little Teapot.

Little Bo Peep - Lesson 3 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs
Little Bo peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.
Little Bo peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating,
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were all still fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails side by side
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could,
As a shepherdess should,
To tack again each to its lambkin.
Matthew 18:12
Amplified Bible (AMP)
What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray and gets lost, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that is lost?
1 Samuel 17
David The Sheppard
Before David fought Goliath there was a compelling argument by David to Saul to let him try to fight the giant. Like Little Bo-Peep David lost a lamb, but it was not as simple for him because he had to actually fight a lion and a bear to get it back. When David tells Saul in verse 37, " ... The Lord delivered me..." giving credit for the accomplishment to God.
Jesus cares this much for YOU!! He will NOT fall asleep like Bo-Peep or need to chase you around to fix your tails. He will be like David, ready to fight anything that comes your way! Ready to go the long haul for that ONE lost soul!

Humpty Dumpty - Lesson 1 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
Proverbs 16:18
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Uzziah's Rise and Fall
Like Humpty Dumpty Uzziah climbed to a great height, not high on a wall but in accomplishments in life. They also both fell from that height. Humpty Dumpty fell from the wall to break into countless pieces and Uzziah fell from Kingship to become an outcast of Israel because of his Leprosy.
It does not matter how great and wonderful you are, YOU CAN FALL!! It may take 52 years until it happens - so do not think that it cannot happen. Pride can really mess you up! Be Humble and know that your greatness comes from God.
2 Chronicles 26
Uzziah King of Judah
1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah,[a] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[b] of God. As long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
6 He went to war against the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod. He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites. 8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
11 Uzziah had a well-trained army, ready to go out by divisions according to their numbers as mustered by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officials. 12 The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army. 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the LORD followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD. That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the LORD God.”
19 Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the LORD’s temple, leprosy[c] broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the LORD had afflicted him.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[d]—leprous, and banned from the temple of the LORD. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
22 The other events of Uzziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. 23 Uzziah rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for people said, “He had leprosy.” And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.
