What's Missing

I was told today by a 3 year old that my bible isn't very good. I couldn't figure out why, it has both black and red letters, my name is on the front, and it even has a bookmark attached to the spine. I guess he saw that I was confused as to why he would say such a thing because when I looked at him he gave me a very pitiful look and said, "It doesn't have PICTURES!!!" Oh well, so much for impressing the 3 year old class..I don't have pictures.

Last week, after our bible story, I told the Kindergarten class they could ask me any question they wanted. I wanted them to know that it is okay to not understand everything they are told and it is always good to ask about confusing things. After explaining to them how good it is to ask questions about the bible, I saw a few hands go up. I could not wait for the profound and thought provoking questions these kids would have. I went to my go to kid (the one who knows all the ins and outs of every story that is told) I knew he would have very deep questions. When I called on him, he looked at me and thought for a second, then he asked, "What is 100 plus 100 plus 10 plus another 10?" I answered 220, then my go to kid looked at his mom, who was helping, and she said, "She's right." My go to kid looked at me and said "Very good Mrs. Amber." I called another kid hoping that they would have something deep to ask so the whole class could be enlightened. Instead I got, "Do you know who my sister is?" That was the last kid I called on.

Oh well, at least I could answer their questions.
