Lessons from Madame Blueberry

I love how the Lord speaks to us in so many different ways. This morning, since Derrik was out of town, Isabella and I stayed home from church. I thought it would be fun for her and I to watch a VeggieTales together for our Sabbath. So I started Madame Blueberry (the first VeggieTales I ever remember).

Have you seen it? Its all about being content and having a happy heart. Wouldn't you know that lovely little show about talking vegetables had me crying. As Madame Blueberry realizes that she doesn't want/need stuff to be happy, the tears started. How is it that it is so easy for us to get the "I'll be happy when...". Is it our culture, or is this the way it is everywhere? Obviously, Paul knew about this. That's why he said:

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

Philippians 4:12

What a beautiful reminder this Sunday morning! Are you in that place right now, the "I'll be happy when..." place? Its easy to get into. Lets hold each other accountable to having a happy heart and thanking God for what we do have!
