I received this photo and the following e-mail today from my best friend, Megan, who is the Volunteer Coordinator at Habitat for Humanity.
"Good Afternoon ;)! About twenty minutes ago I got to experience something very sweet and powerful. A husband, wife, and their two children came into the office. The oldest boy was carrying a small box decorated with Christmas paper, bows, etc. Inside the box was a small donation he wanted to make to Habitat.
He started collecting his money last Christmas and said he wanted to give it to builders because he likes to build things ;). I tear up as I write this b/c even in our nation's tough economy a seven year old boy gets what it is all about...compassion!
I hope you all have a GREAT Thanksgiving ;)!
Sincerely,
Megan "
May we all adopt his generousity and humble spirit!

It still makes me cry everytime I see it!
Wow, that is so sweet.
That is such a sweet story! Thank you both for sharing!
I got teary when I got Moo's email, and I'm teary again. What a sweet, sweet boy. Can you imagine how proud his momma is of him? Oh my goodness!
How true. This is precious, priceless, and a lesson for all the busy adults who fly through life without thinking or complain about what they don't have!
