Love and Charity

My 9 year-old showed me just how good it feels to give to others when we went to the store for our 'treat day' (Sundays). He picked out his treat, and noticed a little boy asking his mom to buy him a chocolate bar. The little boy's mom told him they only had enough for bread and milk. My son turned to me and asked if we could buy the little boy a chocolate bar as well. Of course, there's no way I could deny that request. The smile on his face when he handed the treat to the little boy, whom he didn't even know, almost made me cry right there in the store. Sometimes I think maybe our children should be running the world.
