Lost and Found

When Jesus was finally found after three days without Mary and Jospeh, He was found listening to the teachings in the temple and asking questions. 

How many of your children ask questions, and when they do, how do you answer? 

Treat a spiritual question from a child like gold. It’s not just a question, it’s a window to their mind that they have opened. Foster their curiosity with prayer and satisfy their question, not just answer it and move on. A simply question may not be answered fully immediately. Don’t forget what they ask. For example, if your child has asked, “What’s heaven like”? Make this a topic of conversation in the days or weeks to come.
