For many years I have taught adults and children on the same topics of our faith. I was constantly amazed at how quickly the children truly got it. I say got it because it was not an intellectual understanding from the kids. The message reached them deep within their hearts and whole being. Usually they shared with the class from deep within. Their questions were only to clarify not question. Adults tended to have a whole host of doubts, and comments like "well, don't you think this is unrealistic? It won't work" attitude. In short the children were open to the Holy Spirits, but adults not so much so! And I learned from the children also!
So true, I love working with children. They are a good challenge!!!!

Yes, me too! I keep learning from them and being reminded of what that trust and love in Jesus should look like also in me.
