One day in the past few weeks a group of three to six year olds gathered at the prayer table and they responded to God's gifts in the following way...
- Thank you, God for my family.
- Thank you for food.
- Thank you for the prayer table.
- Thank you for the Holy Spirit.
- Thank you for the world.
- Thank you for praying.
- Thank you for our hearts.
- Thank you for teaching us, God.
- Thank you for everything.
- Thank you for the Church.
- Thank you for the prayer table.
In reflecting on what Jesus meant in this Scripture passage they said...
- "Adults can buy whatever they need but children don't have control. They just trust."
- "And they don't try to be competitive. They just know they are loved. They don't have to do anything to be loved. They just know that they are."
- "Children just believe. They don't have to have reasons to believe. They just believe."
