| Publisher Description: The Jumbled Seed got quieter and quieter. He tried to close his ears to the voices of the other seeds, especially when they were talking about what the Master was making of them. He truly hoped no one would ask him what kind of seed he was. It was embarrassing, telling them he did not know. The day finally came when the Jumbled Seed broke through the ground. Where was the mighty Oak or the tall majestic Pine tree, or the colorful Maple tree? Where were the beautiful flowers that brightened up the fields? He did not see any of them. Where was he? The Jumbled Seed needed to learn not to compare himself with the other seeds around him. We are each unique and God has a special plan for each of us. |
Contributor Bio(s): Marecek, Judy: - The name NanaBE came to me when the Sunday school pastor asked me to help in Sunday school. Since I was in my early seventies, I prayed, and a grandma character came to me. The name "Nana" came, and shortly after, the "BE" came, representing we are to BE kind, BE loving, BE forgiving, BE generous, etc. I put them together and wanted it to be different, so I capitalized the "BE" for emphasis on these attributes. NanaBE is a loving, eccentric grandma-type--a Christian lady who receives children's teaching concepts from the Holy Spirit. She conveys these inspirations, which are relevant to today's youth in living a Christian-centered life, in storybooks and Sunday school classes. She makes her excited, unexpected entrance wearing a mismatched wardrobe consisting of a red print dress; brown, plaid flannel shirt; large purple sparkly earrings; turquoise and white running shoes; and striped socks pulled up to her knees. Her signature rounded red hat is always pulled over her forehead to complete her outfit. NanaBE carries an oval basket covered with purple tissue paper. In it she always has something that pertains to her message for each of the children. Each message tells the children how much Jesus loves them and that each one is special in His sight. As she makes her exit, she waves good-bye to the children, exclaiming, "Always remember, NanaBE loves you, but Jesus loves you so much more." |
