The joys of working with children

So I was sitting with two of my students explaining to them about being beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.  I reminded them of our number 1 rule in our class: To be like Jesus in all we do and say.  I explained how Jesus wouldn't yell or tease or be mean to another student etc.  Another little boy walked up, hearing what I was saying and asked me  if Jesus was a super hero.  (He usually gets in trouble for playing super heroes because he can't keep his hands to himself). So of course I told him yes...the best super hero there is! So then he asked me if Jesus could fly.  I told him, "Of course" and reviewed with him the creation story that we talked about a few weeks ago.  I reminded him of how God said, "Let there be light."  and there was and reviewed how anything was possible with God.  I then explained that's how it is with Jesus.  Anything he wants, he can ask God for.  I told him the story of how Jesus walked on water and how that's impossible for us and even Super heroes.  He said, he didn't know any super heroes that could do that! And was all excited and ran off saying, "I'm going to play Jesus, the super hero!"  A little bit into recess, he came up to me asking, "Can Jesus climb up anything?"  I reminded him of what we talked about, and I guess he realized he needed someone else to play this super hero game with and ran off yelling, "Anyone wanna play God?"  I was surprised he didn't want to be God himself!  Brought a smile to my face and I knew it would yours too!
