I had an animated breakfast conversation with the children and their cousins (their ages are 5, 7, 10 and 13). There were questions on:
It was a balancing act receiving and dishing out information from these topics. I made sure to keep light of the topics and not make it a theological discussion. I already had a tough time answering Nicolas' question, "Did you see Santa in the mall? What did he look like?"
Savion was interested to ask more about the fallen angel. He thought of how God must have felt when the angel disobeyed Him. The children wondered whether the fallen angel could ever go back to God and return to heaven? Was there a chance of this happening?
Savion then said, "When I die, I will go to hell and tell the devil to say sorry to God and then He will let him in heaven. Then I go to purgatory and I then I go to heaven."
Souls - "Do we really have souls or are we just organisms?"
Heaven - "How will I look like in heaven?"
Fallen Angel - "Why did the angel disobey God?"
Love of God - "How much does God love us?" and
Santa's Elves - "How do they sneak around and hide the gifts?".
Heaven - "How will I look like in heaven?"
