A Season of Giving

I was out shopping with my boys and had just left a store and we were getting back into the car when,this man comes up behind me and asks for money. Now this is one of the things that scares me the most, a man coming up to me when I am so venerable, I wish they would at lest Wait for me to get my kids and bags in the car. any way it freaked me out so I hurried and said no and jumped in the car with my kids and locked the door. Then Trezden says " that man is sad? ... He needs some money?.... You have money mommy?." by then I had calmed down and was feeling bad for turning him away but the words of my three year old made me drive over to where he was and give him some money. And as we drove away, Trezden said "Thank you Mommy" I was truly feeling the spirit of the season at that moment and felt grateful for the little boy who reminded me what its all about.

Even though I already heard this sweet story yesterday, it still brought tears to my eyes again! Those sweet little spirits keep us humble and teachable, right?! :D
