A week or so after the earthquake in Haiti, Jeremy and I began talking to the kids about it, mostly about the importance of praying for the people there and how it would be a good idea to give to them, monetarily or whatever. Then, while Jeremy was gone in China for two weeks, the kids had promised to pray for him and the people in Haiti. Just about every night before bed, Ella remembered these two requests during prayer time. Then, last week, Ella brought up that she wanted to pick out some of her toys and send them to the kids in Haiti. My mom was here at the time and we explained to her that the kids would love the toys, but unfortunately many did not have homes to put the toys in yet.
Then, she decided to send money, so she went and got her piggy bank and picked out the coins that she wanted to send. She asked for an envelope to put them in and before she was done, went to get band-aides to put in the envelope also. It was so precious... We prayed over her gift and on Sunday, she got to deliver it to church and put it directly in the offering plate. Our church has raised over $40,000 for the people in Haiti so far!
