You’re working in a classroom of first graders, and you notice Hannah is sitting by herself, playing with a carpet square’s fraying edge. You approach Hannah and say, “Hi Hannah, how are you this morning?”“Oh, I don’t know,” she replies, “Fine, I guess.” She pauses for a beat, and then says, “Teacher, does God get sad?”Advertise on TGCHow should you answer Hannah?
