Sweet Innocence of Kids

Yesterday Sadie said to Morgan, "Dad, can I have that jar of money in your closet?"

Morgan said, "Why?" (Thinking of course she saw something she wanted to buy...)


She said, "There's a girl in my class who every day she gets a stamp on her hand at lunch (the stamp means you're kid is out of money and you need to send money for lunch). She said her dad got fired from his job and they don't have any more money and the school said she can't get any more lunches from there."

When Morgan told me this story I cried. I am so happy to see her be introduced to the fact that she is, in fact, as blessed as we keep telling her. And I am so proud that her sweet personality shows through and she wants to do something to help her friend.

Of course we will be nurturing her newfound compassion by seeing what we can do to help this friend. And try to be a better example by being more aware of the people around us and their needs.

Thank you, Sadie, for your sweet example. I love you so much.
