last night, the theme for our kids programming was that God has good plans for your life. it was based on jeremiah 29:11, a classic take-it-out-of-context-and-slap-it-on-a-coffee-cup bible verse. without delving into all the debatable theology behind this concept, i want to share the craft that the kids made. it was a little booklet with "God's Plan for _______" on the cover (fill in your name, kids). on the blank pages inside, the kids were to come up with some ideas that they thought God might have for their lives. it could be for the next week or year of their lives, or it could be 10, 20, 40 years down the road, and while we don't KNOW exactly what God has in store, it's fun to dream and make guesses. from the precious to hilarious, here were some of their ideas:
God's plan for me is to move to Tennessee and see Miley Cyrus every month.
God's plan for me is to make my bed everyday.
God's plan for me is to love everyone.
God's plan for me is to be a Hawkeye.
God's plan for me is to be hot. (this is a personal favorite)
God's plan for me is to never get married.
God's plan for me is to go to heaven.
And while i still have no idea what i would write if i were to create my own little booklet, these kids helped me to imagine with a little more freedom, and a better sense of humor.
