THE RIGHT POCKET

My oldest son put on a pair of jeans after I ironed them for him for church this morning.   After he was completely dressed, he came to our room with a big smile and said, "Look, Mom!!  I found $5 in my pocket."  (A very clean and folded up $5 bill, I might add.)   :o)

I said, "Well, I guess you can you what you want with it....use it for extra things at school you want....pickles, or snacks, or something."   It obviously was his, right?

So later, we're sitting in church and they start passing the offering plate.   He reaches in his pocket and unfolds the $5 bill and puts it in the offering plate as it is passed. 

That unselfish choice touched my heart.  I was a very proud Mom....and I told him so later.  He just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.....Modest, too.  :)
