On the way home from work the other day, my telephone rang. It was my Sunday School teacher asking if I had the clothes with me I had agreed to donate. I did and we made arrangements for me to drop them off. As I hung up the phone, I was hit with the normal questions from The Red Head...who was that? why didn't she get to talk? where are we going? what did they want? I began explaining to her that it was Mr. Steve and we were going to meet him to give him some of her old clothes. There was a family that had been visiting our Church that had a daughter a little younger than her and they could use them. At first she was very concerned because she didn't realize they were clothes she had outgrown. Once she understood that they were something she couldn't wear anymore she calmed down and got quiet...what happened next blew me away. From the back seat I hear, "Mommy we can take her my Bumble Bee pajamas, she would like those". You see her Bumble Bee pajamas are her absolute favorite and not something she has outgrown. They are something she would wear every night if we would let her. Her three year old little heart is bigger than her years, she saw a need and it didn't matter that it was something that she loved so much, she was willing to give. I am in awe of this little lady and her giving spirit...I can not wait to see the impact she has, as she grows into a wonderful young woman. She teaches me so much.
And she doesn't take herself seriously so, you kind of have to laugh at her too!
