Our local Christian radio station does a "share-a-thon" every year to raise support money. Well we listen to them in the car, sometimes through out the day, and my kids listen to it turned down low at night. It has been uplifting for us, and my boys have learn scriptures and songs, that are so enriching!
Both of my boys, but especially my oldest has asked me since day one of the share-a-thon, to donate $20. That is the figure he came up with, and has stuck to it! All day today he begged me and begged me, so finally at a stop light, I pick up my phone and call to pledge. My heart was so full knowing that the reason I called was because my son, and his sweet giving heart, wanted to give to them, because (in his own words) "they've made my life better, they are my favorite radio station!"
Once the call had ended, I told them that I had called and how much we pledged to give every month. His little face lit up when he found out you give EVERY month!
A few minutes later we were standing in a checkout line when my youngest son decides to tell everyone at the counter that we gave to the radio station and how much we gave every month! He was so proud! And I, being an adult, ducked my head a touch, slightly embarrassed. Something about discussing your money matters in front of strangers makes adults uncomfortable. But I was very proud of him for being so happy over giving to others!
