A Gift

I am so thankful for the example that my little ones show me.  Sometimes when least expected they remind me to be selfless.  For Valentine's Day the children each received a card and a $5 bill from their grandparents.  They opened up their cards and Hadassah said that she was going to give all her money to God in the offering at church and she did that very day.  Gabe said he wanted to buy a police car with his money.  Grace said she did not want to spend hers right away so she was going to put it in her piggy bank.  I thought about offering to give Hadassah 5 $1's so that she could give some and spend/save some of her gift, but then I thought...Jesus wants me to give Him all of me.  If Dassah wants to give Jesus a gift why should I try to change what she wants to give.  May I be more like a child in my faith and my giving.
