| | As you requested Grete, a story about the kids at the daycare. The Kingdom of God can be seen in a group of children on a playground. When a few children play on the swings, all the children want to play on the swings. There is not enough for all to swing, so there is crying and fighting. When a few children find the swings boring, they go to play on the slide, and all the other children then want to play on the slide. But soon the slide becomes crowded and children are pushing and shoving to get down it. When a few children leave the slide to play on the teeter-totter, all the others soon follow, climbing on the middle of the teeter-totter to become some part of the excitement. There is always a child though, who never seems to become part of the fun in any activity on the playground. She follows all the other children from activity to activity in hopes of joining in the laughing, joking, and acting along. However, when it is her turn to swing, there is no one to push her. When it is her turn to slide there is no one to watch her hurry down. When it is her turn to teeter-totter there is no one to balance her because they have all gone on to find something new to play. But one day, a few children will play tag and all the others will follow along in the game. Trina will run away from the person who is it, and she will be chased. She will be included in the game no matter how many times she has hit or bit or kicked the other children and regardless of all the times the teachers have told the other children to stay away from Trina. She will be chased and laugh and scream aloud from the thrill of finally getting to play along and they will too. |
