When Will the Story Come Back?

Yesterday a child asked, "When will the story come back?"

They meant the stories that Aron has read from children's books during Sunday morning services.

We started doing that with the intention of doing it as often as possible. That hasn't turned out to be very often lately. It's hard to find the time to identify a workable book relevant to the text or theme for each week.

Here's an encouragement to up it on the priority list.

Monica,

I miss the children's story myself. For us, adults, it is just one more way to connect to the "story" for the day.

It is what I call illumination. Illumination is clarifying in another way. That is what we as artists, and, yes, as children really appreciate. Words work, as does art . . .
