A LOVELY FOREST

LYNN MAHONEY

BEING A MUM OF FIVE wasn't something I'd ever imagined! Each one of our children has attended Christian Science Sunday School and has learned about God being their true Father-Mother. And many times I've found that they will ask God a question themselves.

Here's an example. One evening while I was tucking Kezia, our 10-year-old daughter, into bed, she asked, "If you plant a little seed, it makes a big forest, doesn't it?"

"I suppose it does," I found myself responding. I was really impressed by her question. I'd never really thought about a seed making something that big!
