Our local shop with a cop is tomorrow. The Young Women always go and help wrap, probably their favorite service project. A year and half into single-parenthood Kaede and Michael were invited to go, after a fair amount of inner turmoil, they went and had a great experience. It often comes up at Christmastime, today as we walked into Wal-mart past the bin for Toys For Tots Kaede sighed and said "
I wish I got to do Shop With A Cop again so I could put some nice toys in there" she had asked earlier if we could put something in there and I said no. What a meany Grinch I am! When we were putting packages together for our missionaries (that are not going to make it in time :-( ) we had put everything in I'd planned on/budgeted for not having any idea how much mailing them would be and Kaede wanted to get something else too. Even if it meant she got less for Christmas this year.
The size of that girls heart is simply amazing, she has empathy for absolutely everyone and hates to see people sad. I hope and pray that she is able to hold onto her golden heart forever.
