I know I am not unique in that when I hear words set to music, I am more likely to remember the words. This was why my mom set my telephone number to the tune of the "My Little Pony" theme song when I was three. For those of you who are not familiar with "My Little Pony," I have the video posted here for your enjoyment. If nothing else, this video will give you an idea of why I expect the world to meet up to my idealistic standards:
Based on how much this ridiculous theme song affected my life at a young age, I am convinced that the music I choose for my (future) children to listen to is very important. I recently ran across this gem called Seeds Family Worship. Their mission statement is, "Planting the seeds of God's word in the hearts of families."
If you don't mind your children learning Bible verses in either New International Version or English Standard Version, check out Seeds Family Worship. They have five or six albums out, all filled with Scripture passages set to catchy tunes.
I've had Philippians 4:6-7 bouncing around in my head all day because of them. Not a bad thing. And after listening to the "My Little Pony" theme song, I'm sure that you are more than ready to have something else in your heads too. Enjoy!
We have the first five of their albums, and Million and I listen to them at breakfast! We (I) love seeds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc9pEb-Ej7U is my favorite (it's got some Beatles influence in it.)
ReplyDeleteI have heard a few people recommend seeds- I need to get some! My kids LOVE 'me too', which is mostly okay but has three songs with dodgy theology in a row. I have to be alert enough to skip them because I do NOT want my kids thinking that the lesson of the exodus is 'you should always follow your dreams'. Ummmm, no.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder - and the my little pony video. I want to live in that world now. Sigh.
