The Heart of a Giver (Part II)

By: Kristi Stevens (View Profile)

Him: “Can I give it to the SPCA?”

Me (fighting tears thinking of the day a year ago we picked up our beloved yellow dog at the SPCA): “Yes, I think that would be a find idea.”

Him: “Do I have to buy a game with my savings money?”

Me: “No, what else do you have in mind?”

Him: “I thought that at the end of the year after I’ve saved up a bunch of money that I could give that envelope to the Church.”

Me: “I think that would be a fine idea, too.”

Me (silently): “Thank you Father for entrusting me with children who teach me lessons I need to learn.”
