Kids ask lots of questions during the preschool yrs, some, i know the answers and I answer them, some I know the answers, but I don't know how to explain to help them understand, some, i don't know the answers. But, questions are good, keep them coming, parents will get better at answering them over the yrs.
I try to redirect the questions to God and have God answer those difficult queries. Lately, we've been praying that though good and bad things can happen to us, God is still always good, all the time. It is hard for a child to understand that completely, but it helps them not put their finger on God when things go wrong. God loves them no matter what happens. That itself is a comfort.
Wed ago, I rushed to KKH emergency with the kids in a taxi by myself. A freaky incident took place. I was putting arm bands on girl, and something clicked, and she went wailing ... we had to change out, get boy out of his swim class, bathed, and left for KKH. Took about 40 mins to see the doc. Gave my scenerios, Doc twisted her little arm about, she screamed for half a min, everything was a ok. She had a pulled elbow, whatever that is, i overstretched it. My fault.
The trip to KKH emergency was quite an experience. Kids come in with all kinds of troubles, high fever, bruised faces and arms and vommitting. I felt the pain and anxiety the parents felt as I watched their faces. I didn't want to be there, Hospitals, the last place I want to step into. I feel so nervous just being there, even though i wasn't the one sick. I need to be braver. I need to know that my God is almighty and powerful. He has conqured death and we have nothing to fear, not even death. I don't fully understand that yet.
