I currently am doing a paid internship with a local church in Winnetka called Grace Presbyterian Church and I teach sunday school every sunday morning for kids ages 5-10 & I absolutely LOVE it!!
today we only had 11 kids due to the weather & most families being away for Spring Break so it was very nice to have such a small group for a change (we usually average abt 30 kids)
today we talked abt Thomas and how he doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead until he was actually able to see Jesus & touch the holes in his hands and feet...
so we began to discuss how it is sometimes difficult to believe in something you can't see- but really there are a lot of things we believe in/experience everyday that we are not able to see; such as the air all around us that we breathe in and breathe out, the wind, our bones, brain, heart, the past and the future... & many more... the kids really were able to give some good answers but by far the funniest thing that was said today was when I asked the kids if we could see love...
i guess I should've known that there was the possibility of that question going the wrong way but i figured they would just comment on how we can show love by doing nice things for each other or giving a friend a hug..
ha well the first answer I was given after I asked, "How do we know love is real if we cant see it?" one little girl quickly shouted, "We can make love!" LOL as soon as she said it i started to freak out thinking "oh crap this is awkward..." so I cautiously responded by saying, "oh yeah? how so?" not wanting to assume the worst lol and thankfully she quickly answered me by saying, "by like drawing hearts and stuff"
hahaha I couldn't help but laugh at her innocence :) kids are so great!
