This Is A Must Read

Sometimes I get frustrated at life

and life keeps kicking dust up in my face

but then the rest of the times I realize how truly blessed I am

and I am solely blessed because of my children

After school today my eldest child

who is 8

Poured out her Halloween candy and started shifting through

looking over each piece with care

and making 2 piles

One for her and one for the poor

I had No say in this

her heart lead her

and I was not going to squelch it

two younger sisters followed suit

making smaller piles

She exclaimed with such joy

that by giving away some of her favorite candy

it will make someone whom is less fortune happy

and then as she bagged it up

and prepared it for a monthly can food drive at her school

she said something to me

that when I lay down

and take my last breath

I will hold close to my heart

"Mommy, next year when I apply for a scholarship

I can tell them how I donated half of my Halloween candy!"

Thinking about this

makes warm tears run across my face

The extent of what she knows is little

but for her heart to be so big and pure

I am in awe over her

For the scholarship

is what made the ability for her to attend this school

the only way we could have afforded it

and she plans on making sure she can go next year

all the while doing works for the Lord,..

and I am in awe
