This morning, as usual, Anna wanted to know where we were going. And as usual, when the answer was “nowhere,” she was ready to help me out with a suggestion. This morning she came up with this:

“Let me think where we could go… maybe we could go buy a present for a little girl.”

“What little girl?” I asked.

“Maybe in Africa…”

“Oh, you mean a little girl who doesn’t have any toys?”

“Yeah.”

Oh, what a sweet spirit she has! She was remembering back to some charitable giving we did before Christmas, when I told her these presents were for “a little girl who doesn’t have any toys” and I threw out Africa as a possible destination. And when her grandparents took her to buy a doll “for a little girl” and they dropped it off at a local toy drive. Apparently she thought that was pretty cool. May she continue that desire to give to others all through the year!
