I had told the kids what a great kid Josh is and how Joy was just saying (right before the accident) that she appreciated how she can count on him for worship time and that he has such a great attitude. So when I share what happened, one student asked "Then why did God let this happen to him?" I didn't have a good answer then, but I kind of wish I had said "because we're not in heaven yet." since I didn't have time for a long answer. From that and other responses I've had I was thinking it might be good to mention some things like:
-bcs we're on earth, not in heaven, God is still allowing sin to affect us. This is because he is still allowing us free will. One day that will end and those who have trusted in him will go to be with Him in heaven
God is still sovereign over all that happens, he has the power to intervene and prevent bad things from happening and he loves us all so much that he wants to bless us. His love and desire to bless us do not depend on our good actions or good attitude or strong faith.
