Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan, "We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them. "

　　I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the children to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy, her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh, dear, " I said, "you don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much. " Meghan said, "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy, too. "

　　I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more, but hard to give what we cherish, isn't it?
