I can’t count how many times I have to say in one day, “Savannah, please be patient!”  Whether it’s waiting for her lunch to be ready or waiting for us to be ready to go to the car, it’s a lesson that is repeated nearly every single day.  Which, is why I was glad that the new Veggie Tales movie, “Abe and The Amazing Promise,” was sent to us for review because, appropriately, it is all about patience!  Now, Savannah is only (nearly) two years old, so I’m not saying watching this video magically taught her how to be patient. But, it does help reinforce the message we tell her daily in a positive way and best of all (in our book) teaches her about God’s love and promises.

We both sat down together to watch it, however since we haven’t watched many Veggie Tale movies before so I didn’t know what quite to expect.  The movie has 2 short stories about patience: one a Bible story about Abe and Sarah, the other about an inventor who rushes to get things done instead of taking his time.  In between the 2 short stories is Larry’s famous Silly Songs, which, appropriately again, was about sneezing since Savannah was (and still is!) sick.  Therefore, this entire movie held Savannah’s attention span well since  it wasn’t too long. Even I enjoyed watching these stories and being reminded of God’s promises to us and how I too need patience!

Savannah has asked to watch it again several times, so I’m thinking we’ll be adding some more Veggie Tales to our collection in the future.  I’d say this is a great addition to a children’s DVD library with positive messages and silly songs!
