The kids Sunday morning program at our church is called Kingdom Kids. My husband and I work with the four and five year olds on a rotating basis. Last week the story during our worship time was about Jesus ascending into heaven from Acts 1:1-11. "And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, ‘men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’’’ (Acts 1:10-11, ESV) After the story, the kids have a response time where they pray and reflect on what they learned by doing a craft or drawing a picture. Most of the pictures and crafts that week depicted Jesus rising through the clouds into heaven. We had many cotton ball clouds glued to the drawings! I took this picture at the beach last Friday. When I loaded it onto my computer and looked at it, it made me wonder if this is what it will look like when Jesus returns. I’m sure it will be more glorious than this, but what an awesome thought. He will come in the same way he left. What a sight it will be!!
