Many times you don't have to worry seeking for things to teach children, especially around ages five to eight. They simply ask a lot of questions about things they encounter each day. The only challenge to adults is to listen to them earnestly, not brush them away irritably or play listen without hearing, and answer them with all honesty as far as you know about the answers.
Encountering oppositions and criticisms can mean that we have at last taken a stand worthy of our gifts. But what we need to be careful about in facing the strong winds in our lives is the temptation to forget that we stood strong and tall against the elements not on our own strength but through the grace of God that works in us. Forgetting this truth will make the triumph against the wind as meaningless as our fall before it. For either way does not make us closer to the God who loves us endlessly.
