What Does God Look Like?

[Bill]

Saw this today:-

A teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

Heh. Heh. Kids are so funny!

Reminds me of a story that L.M. Montgomery wrote about a group of children who bought "a picture of God" from another child who tore it out of an illustrated Bible. They all gathered around the picture in awe and reverence to finally see what God looked like, and the picture was of an old bearded man frowning severely with wrath upon all mankind. They were horribly distressed, until the minister came along and set them straight and told them that God was kind and loving, not to mention being a Spirit and nothing at all like an old cranky man.
