Last week, I had to take T to the dr. for a check up in Houston. So I loaded up all 3 boys and headed in during the morning rush hour. Sounds fun huh?!?
The boys did great, but as we were cruising Levi requested a song. His exact words were "Mom I want to listen to the mouse squeaks song."
Currently in our CD player are 3 Veggie tales CDs and a CD called Seeds Family Worship. The worship CD is simply Scripture put to music. Now, these same four CDs have been in our van for months (I'm really bad at changing them out), and as far as I could tell there was no song about a squeaking mouse on any of them. So I asked what song he was talking about, and Luke quickly responded that it was after the "Rocky Turtle" song.
It was at this moment that I began to understand how their little three year old minds were working. Let me give you two verses of Scripture and see if you can figure it out.
Matthew 12:34 "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." (Mouse squeaks)
Isaiah 26:4 "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself is the rock eternal." (Rocky Turtle)
I laughed so hard and now, much to my dismay hear those words every time the songs come on. I guess in my attempt to hide God's Word in the hearts of my kids, I can't just rely on what they are hearing even when it is Scripture itself. As funny as it was, I was quickly reminded that "training a child in the way he should go" requires work. Training never is and never will be as simple as popping a CD in the car and letting it transform the hearts of my kids. Needless to say, I know a couple of verses we need to work on memorizing correctly! :)
I absolutely love this!!!!!!! Too Precious!!
