I left the Ash Wednesday service thinking about how I would explain the smudges on my forehead to my children. I formulated & reformulated explanations. I tried to arrive at one that would be accurate, understandable, brief and convey what I wanted to my children.
What a tool for exploration and growth of one's faith & beliefs figuring out how to talk about them with kids can be!
Try it out! Pick any topic you want, or go with the one about the ashes.
Where did you struggle? What insights did you gain? What questions did you discover?
Processes like this can be happily invigorating or horribly scary.
Rest in God, let the Spirit lead you.
