We snuggled in bed this morning.  It was glorious.  The perfect beginning to a sunny Friday.

We snuggled and watched the newly released VeggieTales:  The Little House That Stood.

Laying a Firm Foundation

Being the wife of an engineer, The Little House that Stood, poignantly demonstrates the importance of my husband’s job.  He helps design structures that protect people’s lives on a daily basis.

You see, there were several contractors in The Little House That Stood that constructed houses differently for each of the three little (humorous) pigs:

  • stacking bricks, one on top of another
  • layering bales of hay
  • using forms to create a strong foundation and building up with rebar

They all wanted their houses immediately, as if you could build a house on the model of a drive-thru.  And because two of the houses were not properly built, two little pigs found themselves running for their lives.

Do You Have A Crack In Your Foundation?

When a crack forms in the dam that protects Cabbageville, the residents – and more importantly the contractors, realize that a firm foundation is important.  People’s lives are at stake.

He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. 

 

Isaiah 33:6

For the crack in the dam above the town grew and with it came a massive amount of water.

One house stood in the end.

The house with a firm foundation.

As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” 

 

Luke 6: 47-49

Pause. 

While a child’s movie, do you have any cracks in your foundation that could cause to to falter in your faith when life gets you a little wet?

Do you even have a foundation? (Email me if you have any questions about this thegranolamom4god (at) gmail (dot) com.)

But I’m getting rather serious on you aren’t I?

  • I remember seeing them in college (pre kids) and thinking it was strange. Now 4 kids later… I admit to a small crush on Larry!!!

  • I too was in college when I first heard of Veggie Tales. My roommate loved them and played their songs. She had a few videos too. I usually spent Halloween with my family, but didn’t that year, instead watching Veggie Tales with several friends. My Mom called the next day, and when I asked how the church night went (my little brother was 7), she said, “Oh, you wouldn’t have liked it. They should some weird new cartoons with vegetables.” I laughed telling her I’d spent with evening watching them too!

  • The first time I heard of veggie tales was when my second son went to the Christian drive in near us, and they opened their show with a veggie tales movie. The man who created VeggieTales lived only about 10 miles from the drive in. It was hard to believe that something so wonderful was happening almost in our own back yard!

  • First memory of the Veggie’s was Shadrach, Meshach and Ambindigo. My kids LOVED that one 🙂

  • Long before I had kids, my co-worker told me about this great kids show called Veggie Tales. I tucked that away until I had my own and now we are officially in love with these wonderful stories!

  • first memory was hearing about it from my sister debbie jackson

  • My first memory is my friends telling me about it when I lived it Chicago right after college. I also had a friend who worked at headquarters!

  • I saw the first veggie tale when my neice, who’s about to graduate from high school, was 2 years old. We watched sooooooo much that I had still remembered it when my own kids came around 10 years later.

  • I just spent 2 hours playing with trains, reading books and assembling puzzles. Great stuff, right!

  • First veggietales was in high school while babysitting – Until the change in ownership it always reminded me of Christian muppets.

  • I was introduced to VeggieTales about 7 years ago when my son was little, and I thought they were hilarious!

  • My sister in law had them for her son and she would sing them all the time! (the silly songs)

  • We love Veggie Tales. I think I first heard about them at my daughter’s Sunday School class – in the summer once in a while they would show a Veggie Tale. At age 8 (almost 9) she still loves them!

  • A friend in ministry came by the house one day with a box of books and videos. In it were a stack of veggie tales books that her grandson had outgrown. We had so much fun reading them and thought of his generosity each time since he had written his name in each one.

  • I didn’t discover Veggie Tales until our oldest daughter (now 5) received a movie as a gift…. probably 3-4 years ago. I honestly do not remember which movie was our first, but she has been in love with them since! 🙂

  • I remember my grandparents buying us grandkids VeggieTales on VHS. We loved them!
