I was touched by the way this little girl reciprocated my love for her by giving me a "cheque" from the "bank of love". I was left speechless as I received and beheld this gift from Amanda.
I never ever thought that she would appreciate our Sunday school child-Sunday school teacher relationship in such a profound way. Children indeed do not take their relationships for granted. They are heavenly blessings.
Oh Gladys, I think this is such a beautiful post. I agree that what is modeled to children is so influential. When compassion and generosity is modeled by the adults in a kid's life, that has a profound effect. So much of mainstream parenting is so disrespectful to kids, and yet adults expect respect and love from them. Your experience with that little girl feels so precious :)
