Narnia's Lucy Visits Us

Lucy Pevensie from The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe stepped into our world this past Thursday. Now, as a mature woman, she came to reflect on her experiences as a little girl in the world of Narnia. Her "golden curls" were just as described in the novel. Lucy especially wanted to remind us of the incredible lessons learned as she and her siblings, Susan, Peter, and Edmund battled the evil forces of Narnia. Her repeated warnings about falling into temptation and the downward spiral of that choice was paralleled with Edmund's sorrowful experience with the White Witch. Her description of Aslan's forgiveness and love were wonderfully paralleled the Lord Jesus Christ his relationship to us. She challenged us to hold fast to our faith and trust God in all things knowing that the joy and peace from Him far aways the temporary pleasures of this world.


As you may have concluded, Lucy was our very own Mrs. Amy Aduddell, second grade teacher. We thank her for sharing her talents both in acting and writing. Below is the poem Mrs. Aduddell wrote for us to sum up her reflections.

Lucy’s Cautionary Tale"

By Amy Aduddell

Listen friends, and listen well

To a cautionary tale,
Of a boy who did not wait

To have good things upon his plate.

His bitterness and selfish pride

Led Edmund to the darkest side;

They kept him blind - he couldn’t see,

The “White Queen” was his enemy.

And so you see, he made bad choices-

And listened to the wicked voices.

The Turkish Delight & lies he told

Had left a sickness in his soul.

So further down the path he’d stray

He should’ve gone the other way.

His throne was there at Cair Paravel

And not there in the witch’s jail.

He chose the wrong & not the right,

And sold his soul for Turkish Delight.

An evil witch, a promised throne,

Would leave him empty and all alone.

But then he felt it was too late,

His treachery had sealed his fate.

And though he wished with all his might

He had no power to set things right.

But let not your heart begin to sink,

“-though it may be harder than you think.”

For Edmund’s folly – his sin and such,

Have consequences and matter much.

The Lion King now became,

his only hope, the only name,

“He is not safe, but He is good”

Aslan – King of all the wood.

What’s to be done? Oh, what’s to be?

Only Aslan can set him free.

The innocent one – must sacrifice,

But He is willing to pay the price.

Now don’t look too harshly on Edmund’s sin,

For see we all are just like him.

Our sins and wrong things that we do,

Have left us needing a Savior too.

So if you’re lost, in a dark place,

Call out to God and seek His face.

His promises are always best,

Just do what’s right and you’ll be blessed.

Wait on God – for His best plan,

Read His Word to understand.

You’re patience will require faith

But His promises are worth the wait.
