Kids:
ACTS Kids: I asked my preschool/elementary class to spend some time listening for God's voice and to draw and picture depicting what they heard from God. Then we all took turns sharing our pictures. Jude (age 7) drew a picture with lots of flowers, trees, plants, and grass. He then shared the following: "I drew a picture of nature, because I love nature and God loves nature, so that's something we have in common and so we like to spend time together in nature."
My unofficial goddaughter Kataleiya (3.5 years) singing from her carseat in the back: "Jesus saved us, when no one else could, when we were stuck in the mud, in our princess dresses, and we were so, so hot..." At first it was all I could do to keep myself from dying of laughter, but as I thought about it, I realized she actually understands what Jesus did for us more than I realize. In her mind, one of the worst possible scenarios would be ruining one of her princess dresses (her most prized possessions). And while that isn't technically what Jesus saves us from, He does save us from our worst case scenario, and in her 3-year-old understanding, she gets it!
At work:
Karen: "So for Match Day, the students want to tie cardboard suitcases to the trees!"
Dr. Daniel: "Okay everyone! It's Covid Day!" Me: "Isn't every day Covid Day?" Dr. Daniel: "Oops. No. It's Soaking Day. For your orchids."
