I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor.Meghan watched seriously,as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
While I sorted through our clothes,I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games.
“I'll help you find something for the little girl when I'm done with this,”I said.
The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes.Meghan walked up with Lucy,her worn,faded,muchloved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest.She paused in front of the box that held the toys,pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat,paintedonface,gave her a final kiss,then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh,Honey,”I said.“You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously,eyes glistening with heldback tears.“Lucy makes me happy,Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl happy,too.”
Swallowing_hard,I stared at Meghan for a long moment,wondering how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.For I suddenly realized that anyone can give their castoffs away.True generosity is giving that which you value most.
