"It Will Be Okay" ~ Storybook

This is a timeless book has an awesome message. It's a story picture book, but I think everybody should read it. :) It doesn't matter your age, this book is so good for everyone to read!

Synopsis 

In a dusty shed, on a rickety shelf, hidden in a cozy packet, lived a tiny seed.

Day after day, Little Seed watched as the Farmer came into the shed. The Farmer's strong hand would reach into the packet, and He would say, "I have a good plan for you," each time He selected a seed.

Little Seed knew the Farmer was good and kind, but he did not want to leave his home. 

Little Seed liked living inside the cozy packet on the rickety shelf in the Farmer's dusty shed.

He did not want to go. 

Review

The age range for this book is 1 to 100! ;) This book has such a timely message for any age.

This book is about Little Fox and Little Seed. Little Seed and Little Fox are facing fears, changes, and brand new things. They discover that God is with them and will help them get through the rough times. God is like the Farmer. The Farmer always tells the Little Seed, "It will be okay." "...the Farmer is good, and the Farmer is kind, and He was always watching over them." 

What I really liked about this book was the message in it. There are things in life that we don't want to do, we don't like it, or it's change. However, God wants to lead us towards something new.

In the end, "it will be okay." Trust God- it will be okay. 

Happy Sukkot! Feast of Tabernacles!

"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. And you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. You shall celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. You shall dwell in booths for seven days..."  Leviticus 23:39-42

The Feast of Tabernacles looks back on the forty years when the Israelites wandered in the desert living in shelters or tabernacles. They were to be reminded of their forefathers disobedience, but that even in their wanderings, God was in their midst. God commanded the Hebrews to build booths or shelters to live in during this feast to remind them of the time in the wilderness. 

Jesus is the ultimate tabernacle or dwelling place of God in human flesh. God Himself is our rest through a personal relationship with Jesus. This feast reminds us of God's provision in the wilderness, and in times of rest. We are to rest in Him, and dwell with Him.

Happy Sukkot!!!
