Who is God?
Before I started working in a daycare, I felt that I was fairly well-prepared for the job. But one thing that I was not prepared for was how many philosophical discussions children have.
I guess it shouldn’t surprise me. Everything is so new to them. A four or five-year-old child has the intelligence to think and reason, but he doesn’t have experience of the world. There’s so much that he doesn’t know, and so much that he wants to know! It makes sense that kids are so full of questions.
Most of the time, my solution was to let the children have their discussions and come up with their own answers. Many of them were parroting what they had heard their parents say or what they heard in church. But there was one answer that I will never forget.
During a discussion about God, one little preschool girl proclaimed that “God is the king of church!”Honestly, I couldn't argue with her!
