Wish You Could Have Been There

Story★★★★

A Sunday School teacher challenged her children to take some time on Sunday afternoon to write a letter to God.

They were to bring their letter back the following Sunday.

One little boy wrote:

“Dear God, We had a good time at church today. Wish you could have been there.”

The point

A child writes to God saying they had a good time at church and wishing God could have been there, innocently illustrating both childlike faith and a charming theological irony.
