This year I began by asking the 4th-6th graders what they already knew about the Kingdom of God. Here are their responses...
- It's like a Mustard Seed.
- It's like a Pearl.
- In the Kingdom of God you are never too old.
- There's no sickness, no sadness or worry.
- It's like Parousia.
- It IS Parousia.
- It's a banquet that never ends.
- It's like the Found Coin that the woman rejoices over.
- It's everything but more.
- We don't know much about it, but what we know is great!
Then I asked what they knew about God's Plan.
- He created the earth and gave us freedom.
- Then His Plan is that all of us go to heaven.
