Cindy Bloemsma's newly released "Casey's Greatest Birthday Ever!" is a thought-provoking children's story about needs versus wants.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Casey's Greatest Birthday Ever!": a beautiful story about managing desires. "Casey's Greatest Birthday Ever!" is the creation of published author Cindy Bloemsma, a retired mother of four and grandmother of nine from South Haven, Michigan.
Bloemsma writes, "It was now 4:00 p.m. so the guests began to return home. And there it was. All over. No Minecraft Mountain Cave. What a huge disappointment. What was he going to do now? He had dreamed of this day for such a long time, and now it was over. His mom could see the sadness in his eyes. She walked over to her easy chair and picked up her Bible that always sat on her end table. She rifled through some pages as she walked across the room to where Casey sat, sulking.
'I want to read you something and then we can talk about this,' she said to him softly. She read from the book of Philippians 4:19. 'And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.'
One of God's names is Jehovah Jireh, which means 'God will provide.' This doesn't mean God will give you whatever you want (he's God-not a genie in a bottle). But He will provide you with what you need. God promises to provide for those who love and obey Him and we can trust Him to do so because He always keeps His promises. Trust God to provide what you need, He is always faithful!"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Cindy Bloemsma's new book is an important story for every Christian family with young children who can benefit from learning the difference between wants and needs, letting go of what they can't have and can live without, and recognizing the blessings they already have.
Just as Casey's mom gently and lovingly talks to him in his disappointment, the story will encourage parents to open a fruitful dialogue with their children about what's truly important in life.
