I love my kids. I'm super proud of everything they do. Tonight, was a night of pure bragging rights. Our church is participating in a fundraiser for Alpha Pregnancy Center. Our Pastor challenged families to each fill 2. So, we took 2 and set them on the counter. Tonight, after dinner I emptied the change from my wallet and divided it up between the two. Gavin stopped mid homework and asked if he could put some money in the bottle. I said "sure" assuming he meant help me put the change in. He said "No Mom, my money!" I told him he could but, he needed to decided how much. After all, it was his hard earned allowance. He thought for a couple minutes and came over to me. "Mom, can I put $17.00 in?". Absolutely! It just amazed me that A) He asked to do it and B) came up with that amount all on his own. The kid has a huge heart. It amazes me how much love is in such a tiny little body. I think he renews my faith in humanity daily. The boy has sweetness running through his veins. He'll do big things with it, I know it.
The amount of love and compassion Gavin possesses constantly melts my heart. He has more than many adults I know. I wish I could borrow him for a few days and just go everywhere with him, and let people just observe him. He would change a lot of lives; of this I am sure! I love him and his big, compassionate, giving heart!
ReplyDeleteThat boy is full of pure goodness. He does everything with a pure heart and out of a sheer desire to love everyone. If anyone can love the unlovable, it'll be that boy.
