The little things
January 12, 2012
George and Festus came up to me as I left campus Monday. They were trying very hard to be serious, but their grins showed through. “We’re overwhelmed,” George said, “with how much you’re doing for us.” I did a three hour lesson on arithmetic series for the quizzing team the day before. “We took up a collection. It isn’t enough, but we want you to have it.” Festus handed me $80LD (just over $1US) and I thought I’d cry.
“Gentlemen,” I said, “if I take this I’m buying you chalk with it.” They stared at each other. “Please just take it.” George pressed it into my hand.
Love, love, love them.

You’re making a huge difference for them, one I’m sure they will never forget! And you get to always carry in your heart the lessons you take from each day!
