This is the “God is Like…” bulletin board from my third grade Bible class. We studied the parables together and they flourished in the act of comparison. I gave them Pixie Sticks for every addition to the board. They added much, well.
Today I’m thinking of what God is like over coffee with my artist Mother-in-law: He’s a painter.
I’m thinking of what God is like as I dress for a funeral, pouring rain outside my window: He’s shelter.
I’m thinking of what God is like as I prepare to teach the final spring Bible class to six precious third graders: He’s a superhero and a rock and a shepherd and a cushion. :)
