🎃👓 Story: Bobby the Pumpkin and His Glasses (long version)

Once upon a time in a bright, happy pumpkin patch, there lived a little pumpkin named Bobby.
Bobby was round, orange, and had the biggest smile. But Bobby also had something that made him different—he wore a pair of shiny blue glasses. 👓

Bobby loved his glasses because they helped him see the chalkboard at school and the letters in his favorite Bible storybook. But sometimes, Bobby felt a little shy about them.

One morning, Bobby rolled into pumpkin school. All the other pumpkins were laughing and playing. Some of them pointed and said, “Wow! Bobby has glasses!”

Bobby blushed. He wanted to hide under a leaf. “Maybe I look too different,” he thought.

At story time, Bobby’s teacher, Miss Maple, opened the Bible. She read:
“I praise You because I am wonderfully made.” – Psalm 139:14

Miss Maple smiled at Bobby and said, “That means God made each one of us special—including you, Bobby. Your glasses help you see all the wonderful things God made. You don’t need to feel ashamed. God loves you just the same as every pumpkin here!”

Bobby’s heart felt warm.
“Really?” he asked.
“Really,” said Miss Maple. “God made you just right.”

That afternoon, Bobby played tag with the other pumpkins. He could see every laugh, every smile, and even every wiggly worm in the dirt—because his glasses helped him!

Bobby giggled and thought,
“My glasses don’t make me less. They make me Bobby—and God loves Bobby just the way I am.”

That night, under the twinkling stars, Bobby whispered a prayer:
“Thank You, God, for making me me. Thank You for loving me just the same as everyone else.”

And Bobby the Pumpkin drifted off to sleep with a big, happy smile on his face. 🌙✨

🌟 Main Point for Preschoolers:

👉 “God loves me just the way I am!”

“I am wonderfully made.”
