"Welcoming Each Wonder" by Tom Gordon.
A boy named Nathan and his questions about God.
Nathan asks his grandmother about what God is like and how he can be present even though he can't be seen.
His grandmother uses the analogy of soap slipping out of one's hands to explain the presence of God.
Nathan realizes that God, like the soap, can disappear but always comes back.
The story highlights the idea that God is always there, even if we can't see Him, and we just know when He is present.
The work of Wycliffe Bible translators and the importance of translating the Bible into native languages.
The story encourages sharing our experience of God in a language that others can understand.
A reminder that the spirit of God is always speaking to us, even if we may not always be listening.
