Presence of God
Illustration★★★★OF GOD Sister Joselma, first-grade teacher in the laboratory school at Alverno College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wrote and published a children’s book called “The Littlest Brother.” Her pupils, who watched the book grow from stories told in class to a printed volume, were fascinated by the project. They began writing books of their own. One student wrote what was, perhaps, the shortest book you could find anywhere. It was composed of a sheet of paper, folded into four pages. On the front was the title “Swift Things.” Inside was a crude but lively sketch of a deer. And beneath the deer was this penciled text: “A deer is very swift, but God is already there.”
The point
A first-grader's tiny homemade book captured profound truth: though a deer is very swift, God is already there.
