Episode 26

Hey all you kids and kids at heart! Welcome back to the “Different isn’t Bad” podcast. A podcast your family can trust.

Around here kids are important and different isn’t bad, it’s just different!

Come along with me. Today we start a really fun and different part of my new season. It’s called “Sprinkles?”

I’m sure you all know what sprinkles are?  They’re those pretty colorful, sweet, candylike mixtures you put on ice cream or cupcakes! 

Without the sprinkles, things just don’t taste very good! Just ask my grandkids! The more sprinkles the better.

In episode 25 “Kindness Counts” I told you about my favorite book, the Bible? 

If you didn’t hear that story go back and listen.

Because my favorite stories often come from the Bible I thought it would be fun for you to find out some really fun facts that I never knew as a kid. Fun facts are called “Sprinkles”

If you have your own Bible it might be fun for you to follow along. If you don’t then Miss Robin wants to give you one. Have your adult contact her at www.robinmarie.org and ask me to send you one. I would love that!

During these “Sprinkle” episodes you will hear a short passage, that’s what we call short stories in the Bible, then Miss Robin will share something FUN she learned. That’s the sprinkle.

But Miss Robin, what about Stubby the Cat and all his friends?

Don’t worry, Stubby and his friends will always be a part of this podcast and you will hear new stories throughout the year. You can even go back and listen to the stories from the 1st season, There you’ll learn all about Stubby the Cat and his friends.

You’ll also hear stories from other children’s authors around the world. That’s Miss Robin’s part of doing things differently!

In our Sprinkles episodes, there are a few things you can do while you listen.

Close your eyes and imagine what’s happening.

What do you see?

What do you hear?

What do you smell? 

At the end of each “Sprinkle” there will be a “Did you Know” and “Questions to think about.” During this time I’ll be asking you to pause the podcast and connect. This means you’ll need to think about what you just heard. Then take a few moments to talk with someone you love and trust. Maybe that’s your mom or dad or auntie or just a good friend. Whoever it is, make sure you all share your thoughts.

Then Miss Robin will end with the cherry on top. That red cherry is the one my grandson loves. In fact, he often eats it first!! 

The verses I share are kind of like a cherry on top!  You can say them out loud with Miss Robin and keep them in your head to say later.

So now onto what you’ve been waiting for, our first Sprinkle Episode called “The Beginning – Day One”

Here we go!

I praise you God because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

PSALM 139: 14-16
