Michael has been at an all day camp this week. It's one of those outdoor rustic kind of camps. Anyway, he had $5 to spend this week at the camp store. It's their chance to get a cool snack during these hot days. He told us a story last night that made Beth and I feel oh so good.
Michael and a few boys from his group went to the camp store and bought ice pops. Michael hadn't spent any money at the store this week, knew he had 2 days left, so he went ahead and bought 3. He goes on to tell us that there is the "very, very nice boy" in his group that didn't have any money and wasn't able to buy anything. So, Michael gave him one of his ice pops. Needless to say, Beth was near tears; I was pretty choked up too.
Acts like this from your children make you feel like you are truly raising them the right way. We have a great church that stresses helping others and it's obvious now that Michael listens and gets the message. We are so proud of him!
