The things children say

While working at an after school care for a little over a year, I heard some pretty hilarious things come out of the mouths of several kids. I also got the chance to hear some amazing questions from them. One afternoon while doing a devotion about Adam and Eve and the first sin with the kids in my class, I was particularly surprised at the depth of one of the questions I was asked by one of the girls in my class. "Why did God create satan if He knew satan would rebel against Him and cause Adam and Eve to sin?" I was pretty surprised to hear that come out of the mouth of a 9-year-old and didn't even know how to respond. I told her that I didn't know and that we don't always know the answers to everything. I hated that I couldn't give her a real answer, but I continue to be thankful for the way children have no reservations about asking questions.
