📚 Toddler Story: Billy the Pumpkin and His Pickles on Pancakes
Down in a cheerful pumpkin patch lived a funny little pumpkin named Billy.
Billy loved breakfast time. He’d stack up fluffy pancakes, pour syrup on top… and then — plop! 🥒 — he’d add pickles!
Everyone laughed. “Pickles on pancakes? That’s so silly!” they said.
But Billy just smiled. “God made me special,” he said, “and I love my breakfast just like I love reading my Bible — every single day!”
Every morning, before his first bite, Billy opened his Bible and prayed,
“Thank You, God, for this day and for Your Word!”
When his friends saw how happy Billy was, they said,
“Maybe we can start reading our Bibles every day, too!”
Billy grinned. “Let’s do it together! We can all love God in our own special way!”
🌟 Story Reflection:
Billy’s story reminds us that God made each of us special — even if we like silly things like pickles on our pancakes! 🥒🥞 Billy loves reading his Bible every morning, and that helps him grow closer to God. We can love God, too, by learning His Word every day and remembering that He loves us just the way we are. 💛
✨ Poem: “Billy’s Pickle Pancakes”
Billy the Pumpkin wakes each day,
With pancakes stacked a tasty way. 🥞
He plops on pickles — oh, what fun!
And thanks the Lord for the morning sun. 🌞
He opens his Bible before each bite,
To learn God’s Word and walk in His light. 📖
He smiles and says, “I’m made this way,
To love my God in my own fun way!” 💚
So when you wake each morning too,
Remember what Billy loves to do —
Read God’s Word, then smile and say,
“I’ll love You, Lord, in my own way!” 🙏
