I struggle with patience on a regular basis. I imagine that Gracie might have the same struggle as she grows up.

Just a hunch, but I started thinking it when she grabbed me by the hand and said, “Walk! C’mon! Walk!” She’s impatient and bossy.

I have seen lots of good television programs dealing with patience, but I’m a real stickler about the programs I’ll allow Grace to watch. First, I don’t allow anything with commercials. I don’t want Grace making the buying decisions in my house; her father and I are capable. Second, Grace doesn’t watch anything with bad language or bad behavior.

There are three groups of programs that I absolutely trust for Grace to watch: Sesame Street, Barney, and Veggie Tales.

This week, a new Veggie Tales DVD came out called Abe & the Amazing Promise, and it’s all about patience. We were lucky enough to receive a copy from Family Review Network and Veggies Tales.

Abe & the Amazing Promise is actually two stories in one. The first story is the tale of Abraham and Sarah from the Bible. The second is a musical cartoon called Blunders in Boo-Boo-Ville. I like the story, and I think Grace will enjoy it for many years to come.

When we watched, Grace wasn’t really interested in the Abraham story. It moves too slowly for a toddler, but I bet that older kids would love it. Blunders in Boo-Boo-Ville is quick and loud and full of songs that kept Grace’s attention for longer periods of time.

You can preview Abe and the Amazing Promise. I think you’ll like it. It’s a good show. It’s not an annoying kids’ show. By the end of the DVD, I even found myself singing along with the songs.

You can download an Abraham coloring page, Abraham and friends coloring page, and a Boo-Boo-Ville Coloring Page. Grace loves to color, as you know, so she really enjoyed these.
