Another God Moment

We've been working on Fall things with the Littles, of course. So as they were making paper & rafia scarecrows and painting leaves today I planned on giving them a gentle intro on the science of the changing leaves. I asked them, "Do you know why the leaves change colors?" Bear (4) replied, "Yes, because it's Fall!" "That's right, honey. But do you know why?" Bee (7) said, "God made the trees turn all kinds of pretty colors so that we would remember Him and enjoy His creation." Ummm, yeah, so I scrapped that however-watered-down technical lesson. "That's right, sweetheart. That's exactly right." Isn't that what we all do sometimes? Make things too complicated, too technical. Maybe it's because we try to control things, I don't know. Like a little child, moms and dads. We all must be like a little child. Peace, Katie |
