One of the best things about childhood is curiosity, and my kids are very curious. They’ll even tell you how curious they are! It can be very cute and give you a chuckle, too.

C4 and A2 have been asking lots of questions about Jesus. One of the songs we sang at bedtime tonight was “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”. Instead of simply singing the song we watched this video. The art in this video is just beautiful and powerful! I love using art, music, drama, and other creative arts to share the gospel with children. I think it makes the information more real. The video sparked lots of questions about Jesus’ life, which E and I did not anticipate.

While we watched the video, the children wanted to know about where Jesus was born. They also asked about Mary and Joseph. When they saw the cross, they asked, “Why did the mean men take Jesus away?” I told them that the people didn’t like that Jesus was saying that He was God’s son. I’m not sure that it made sense to them, though. Their questions made me think about Jesus’ life and wonder more about why things happened to Him the way that they happened.

I’m glad that they are asking questions. They are trying to make sense out of the whole story, and they are helping me to understand my God better. I am beginning to see God like a child does.
