From the Heart

When our son was a toddler, we were having a new house built. We often visited the building site to check on the progress. David discovered a lot of small metal donut-shaped disks that we called slugs. He was sure they were valuable coins and excitedly started gathering and saving them.

After church one Sunday, one of the women who had been counting the offering complained that someone put slugs in the offering. She thought that was rude and disrespectful. I realized that David must have donated some of his treasured collection and assured the woman that it truly was a gift to God from David's heart.
