Now let's sing a song for

the children

called The Great Speckled Bird.

Oh yes, I really like that song.

Well, I like it too,

but I don't understand it.

And if I don't understand it,

neither will the little children.

Is it talking about those big chickens

that run around here

in the barnyard all the time?

No. Lily, are you crazy or something?

Willie, will you please explain it to her

so we can get on with this program?

Why sure, I would be glad to explain it.

The great speckled bird

represents the church family.

church is everyone

who has trusted Jesus as their Savior,


and someday he is coming back

to take the church away

to live in heaven with him forever.

Won't that be wonderful?

Do you understand it now, Millie?

Yes, I think I do,

and I'm almost ready to sing now,

but my feelings are a little hurt.

How's that, Millie?

Because Curly laughed

at me and scolded me,

and I can't sing when my

feelings are hurt.

My heart has to be full of joy

before I can sing very well.

All right, Millie, I understand.

Curly, don't you think you should ask

but are you sure you really meant it,

or did you say you're sorry

just because Wooly told you to?

Oh, no.

Okay, if you will look me straight

in the eye and say it,

then I will believe you.

Okay, I will look you straight in the eye.

I am really sorry, Millie.

All right, I believe you now

and I feel great.

What are you two guys waiting for?

Let's get on with the program.

Let's sing The Great Speckled Bird.

I can't wait to tell my friends

what The Great Speckled Bird
