Little Girl with a Big Heart

          The cutest thing happened during work yesterday and I just let it happened. It all started with the simplest of things and it got bigger as it went on. It was really neat to see it happening around little children but yet God always told us to have faith like a little child. What happened yesterday was a good reminder for me. The thing that happened was this: a little girl started talking about God and how He died on the cross for us. It got the other children talking about it too.
            The little girl started talking about it because of the craft she and her classmates were making. We started off by talking about the stars and how they made shapes in the sky. That you can see the shapes when you are camping outside at night. We watched a YouTube video about the stars and then we actually showed them the stars using an app on our phone that showed where the shapes really were in the sky even in the daytime. It was called something like "Sky Scrape". Some of the shapes we talked about were the Big Dipper, Big Bear, Orion, and the North Star. Then the children made their own shapes in the sky if they wanted to or they could make a shape that was already in the sky like the "Big Dipper". 

            The little girl that was talking about how Jesus die for us started because she made her shape of the cross and a circle around it. She even wrote, "God did (died) rite here." It was really cute! When she would read what it said, it would just start the other children talking about it too. The children made their shapes out of silver sequences and glue on a blue piece of paper. They made a lot of their own things like fish, rockets, the cross, and even flowers but some of them just stuck with making the Big Dipper too. There was a lot of different things and shapes that were made. It was hard to keep track of what they were really talking about. 

              I remember some of the things were things like how God died for us and then that lead to the children sharing who have died in their family or people they knew that have passed away. I also remember them saying things like, "God died a thousand years ago.", "God is by my side.", and even talked about how God lived after He died in their own understanding. It was a fast convo. but really cute one at the same time. It reminded me of a lot of things as a grown up. Here are some of the things that convo. reminded me of. 

              We should never be scared to share our beliefs, even when it is just out in the blue. We shouldn't be scared to talk about our faith and the differences between beliefs. We should be really outgoing about our faith and love talking about it. We should do it with a smile on our face. What got me with the little girl was she was saying what her picture was with a huge smile on her face and she wasn't even thinking about it. She also just kept repeating what she was saying, even when other children tried to disagree with her or when she think someone didn't here her clearly enough. It was also neat that she thought about the cross and a circle around it while they were suppose to making shapes in the sky.

                In a way, she was putting Creation and Jesus dieing on the cross for us together but yet she had no idea. It was kind of like saying, "Jesus died for all Creation." when you really think about it. It was just a moment that highlighted my day and a great one to the end of a long week. It is a moment I never what to forget about so that is why I am writing it out plus I haven't done one about the children in awhile so I thought it was about time. It just amazed me how children can be outgoing about their beliefs but us adults are too scared at times. When children do that, it never creases to amaze me! It is always a good reminder for me.
