In speaking with the Level I, 3-6 year old child, there was a great variety in response, and a great depth of truth.
What does 'Rejoice!' mean?
- "Happiness."
- "A hug from Jesus."
- "Peace."
- "Your heart is happy."
- "The Shepherd takes care of the sheep."
- "God loves you."
What brings us joy?
- "The world."
- "Our houses."
- "A soft bumblebee."
- "Our families."
- "Mom and Dad taking care of children."
- "Loving God."
And, in the words of a six-year-old, "Joy is when your heart is so full that your eyes have tears."
