Generosity

After Mass on Sunday they handed out baby bottles for us to fill with coins - a collection drive for a crisis center here which provides help to pregnant women in need.
K1 chose a blue bottle and C2 a pink one.
When we reached home they were playing outside with their friends, and after half an hour I heard someone rush in and the sound of coins being filled up. A few minutes later K1 came upstairs with his bottle all filled up. He had emptied out his whole collection of spare change to donate - which he had been waiting to take to the bank to put in the coin counting machine & receive $ notes to put in his wallet .....
He had even counted it a few weeks back in excitement - $33.50 and written it on a slip of paper and kept it with his coin box.



And every night at prayer time - C2 prays for the children in Sudan who we packed food for 2 weeks back - and asks whether it has reached them yet......
