Gift of Love


The night before we left Kentucky we had supper with some friends.  While we were chatting at their picnic table in the backyard, their 8-year-old daughter disappeared for a short time and returned with a box in her hand.

She told us, "I have a box that I keep my loose change in.  That way, when I see someone that I want to give money to, I have money to give!"

At this point, I started to reach for my purse to contribute to her collection.  But before I could follow through she continued, "I decided that I wanted to give you my coin box to help you get to Albania."

Peering inside and seeing a dollar bill on top of the loose change she said, "There's at least a whole dollar in there!"

That dollar bill (which I  kept before sending a check for the total in her name) is under the glass top of my computer desk, under my wrists as I type, so I never forget that God's provision and encouragement can come from the least expected places.
