GOD’S FACE
“I was all alone, and those [segregationist] people were screaming, and suddenly I saw God smiling, and I smiled,” one North Carolina girl of eight told me in 1962. Then she continued, with these astonishing words: “A woman was standing there [near the school door], and she shouted at me, ‘Hey, you little nigger, what you smiling at?’ I looked at her face, and I said, ‘At God.’ Then she looked up at the sky, and then she looked at me, and she didn’t call me any more names.” Robert Coles in “The Spiritual Life of Children” quoted in Christianity Today, August 17, 1992
