Through Eyes of a Child

I have a smile deep within this morning. The organization I work for (Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children) has what we call 'Birthday Banks'. They collect donations from people who wish to donate on their Birthday, some giving a dollar per year. This morning I opened a gift from a 7 year old little girl. I couldn't help but smile and hold back the tears. How often and how easy it is to anticipate a birthday in excitement of what special gifts we may receive. But this seven year old girl saw her birthday not as a chance to get a new toy, but as an opportunity to give a special gift to children in need. Her big heart spoke volumes to me. I have been reminded this morning of how the world looks through the eyes of a child...
