God's Plan B?

A Level III group was discussing Joseph and his brothers, and how Joseph says that God had a plan to save the family. Xavier asked "What was God's 'Plan B'?" – meaning, suppose Joseph's brothers hadn't sold him? Oscar answered, "The question is 'What was Plan A?' Because God did not want Joseph's brothers to sell him. God just used that to help the people in the famine."

Children have a deep relationship with God, rich in love and profound joy. They know God, even before God's name is spoken to them. God dwells in the heart of the child. The spirituality of the child has so much to teach us as adults, yet often we are in too much of a hurry to truly listen.
With this blog, we at the Center for Children and Theology invite you to listen for God with children. For over twenty years, we have collected theological reflections, artwork and prayers of children, generally in response to their work in the Montessori-based religious formation program called the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The names of children have been changed to protect their privacy.
