Touching Moments

Sometime in the last year, Ellie's taken an interest in money, especially loose change.  She'll organize it, play with it, etc., and most of the time, she keeps it all in her little pink purse.  We haven't started giving her an allowance just yet.  This morning she came to find me with what looked to be nearly all of her change in a ziplock bag.  She told me she wanted to take it to school to give to the people with the earthquakes, as she put it.  I looked, and sure enough, it was most of the money she owns.  It didn't seem to bother her in the least to just give it away to someone who needs it more.  Oh, to have a generous heart like that!
