Little Hearts

Today I was humbled by Allison and Annie as they headed out for school. They were both holding ziplock bags full of change that totaled $37.23 (they counted and recounted to make sure the number was right). They were so excited to be taking this money to school to give towards the relief effort for the tsunami victims. Annie's 2nd grade class came up with the idea of each student bringing at least $1 so that MCS could give $1,000 to help the victims. They made announcements in chapel and put up hand made posters all over the school. If my 2 girls are any indication, they will far exceed their goal.

I'm sure my girls were saving their money for some prized possession they thought they had to have, but their tender hearts were touched and they couldn't wait to give it away. I pray that I will always face opportunities to give with such joy and hope. Oh for the heart of a child.
