The Teaching of the Children

Our Pastor taught the children about light on a recent Sunday. He had a box with a hole in it. All the children looked in the hole and they could only see darkness. He then explained that Jesus was the light and light could comfort them in darkness because it made us see things clearly. A discussion began when one little boy told about how scared he was of the dark. This struck a chord and there were many comments made. Finally the little boy said, "That's why I have a night light." The Pastor poked a hole in the box and shone a flashlight in and behold! they could see two frogs. The box seemed full of dark, but it was full of frogs instead. My grand-son, Fonel, was impressed with the frogs.

Out of the blue, during Sunday lunch, he climbed onto my lap, looked deeply into my eyes, and said sincerely, "Kiquée*, I like darkness."

Oh, my little Fonel, if you only knew just how bad it gets.


By the way, I posted my "followers box" because I have ONE! I think that this is delightful so there she is - my friend M.


*Kiquée is my Grand-Ma name. It's pronounced kee-kay.
