I consistently find this quote to be so right on. Whenever I’ve had the privilege of doing children’s sermons, I as often as not learn more from those who I’m supposedly "teaching" than I suspect they get from my "lesson du jour."
I find the same to be true whenever I engage in conversations with children from the neighborhood. What I had previously perceived to be a "given," rarely stays firm and fixed when translated and fed back to me through the lens of a child’s creative brain and perceptual capacity.
