Okay–I’ll admit it: When I sit down to watch a children’s DVD with my kids, I don’t anticipate that it will have anything to offer me. Are you like that? I’m there to cuddle my kids, answer their questions, and if something in particular applies to their lives or their sibling relationship, I am quick to draw their attention to that. In other words, I’m watching with them and for them. From a mother’s perspective, I’m viewing it to see what they can learn.
When we watched The Penniless Princess, of course my daughter loved it, and even my little boy was caught up in this story. But even I was captivated by this Veggie re-telling of the classic story, “A Little Princess.” I loved how the princess was such a role model for thankfulness–for all of us! No matter what her situation, she was thankful and full of joy. It was such a great reminder to me, as a wife and mom, of my real identity in Christ–and my true source of joy. Thanks, VeggieTales!
