Madi is a sweet little spirit!

We were leaving Costco, doing a grocery run.  As we were driving up the hill to Montano there was a woman outside in the median requesting a job.  Her cardboard read something close to this....I am homeless due to domestic violence I will work for food or a place to stay.  Usually I just drive by cause I have no money or fresh food on me.  Today I had a little bit of cash, not much but a little.  I felt inclined to give it to this lady.  So I rolled my window down and she began to approach the car.  The noisy bunch of girls that were in my car became extremely quiet as they watched what was going to happen.  I handed the lady the money and apologized for it not being very much, she said may God Bless you, and I went on my way.  

As we began to drive my girls starting asking a lot of questions like.......

What did you give her mom, 

what was she wanting, 

what was wrong with her.  

So I answered the questions honestly and explained the ladies situations as best as I could from her cardboard sign.

Then the tears began to fall from my sweet little Madi's eyes.  She was so full of love for this little old woman, and so concerned for her situation.  She wanted to do more for her.  I tried to explain to her the best I could that some people live a really rough life.  That we can't always fix their situations and that we need to help them out the best that we can.  I also explained to her that we need to always be grateful for what we have, even though sometimes it isn't always the best toys, or vacations or house, but that we do have more than others and the Heavenly Father blesses us everyday and we need to thank Him for our blessings!

What a sweet little child that I have, to feel such emotion and love for somebody she doesn't even know.  She will do great things in this world!! I KNOW IT!!
