Last weekend was Easter.

As part of our Easter celebration, I went to the bank and got crisp dollar bills and presidential dollars to go in the kids’ Easter baskets.

Before we went to Easter Vigil at church, the BoyChild stuffed my purse full of cars, Nintendo games and other detritus he  couldn’t live with out during the three plus hour service.

In the midst of loading and unloading my purse, the BoyChild discovered my stash of presidential dollars.  He knew what they were for.  He wanted one desperately.

When it was time to make the offering, he asked if he could have one to give to the Church.

I gave him one, as well as one for his sister and her friend.

Later, when we were talking about it, his explanation was, “when you have enough, you should give to people who don’t have enough.”

A simple concept.  One more people should heed.  Heartbreakingly sweet.
