AN EMPTY POCKET FULL OF GOOD For those others have all made out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of the poverty put in all that she had to live on. ------------ Luke 21 : 4 A few years ago while stuck in traffic, I saw a street child selling candy from a wooden box that she offered to people who passed her by on the sidewalk. When a man paid her money for the gum, the child counted the coins in her hand, placed them in her pocket and began packing up her things to go home. Suddenly, a small boy walked up to her, tugged on her sleeve & put both palms out w/ a pleading look on his face. I was amazed to see the older child put her hand back inside her pocket w/ little hesitation & watched as she selfishly gave what she had just earned to the little boy. As he skipped away in joy, she slowly picked up her wooden box and once again began calling out for people to buy her candy. That child taught me that true giving meant more than just random acts of kindness. Generosity should be an inner habit, 1 we must form by constantly sharing our blessings w/ a full heart & with the deepest faith that GOD will continue to provide. --- ELEANORE LEE
