Once Upon a Time
The kids in our East Campus Elevate ministry recently chose compassion when they donated their gently used books and also made bookmarks to give to the children at Havin Elementary. Susan Allen, who serves in Elevate and is a teacher at Havin, went through more than 200 books that were donated. She then let each of her 1st grade students choose three books to take home.
How did this act of compassion make a difference? As the class was sorting the books there were several books about Jesus. This opened up great conversations with the children. Many of the children had never owned a book of their own, and the love, hope and excitement grew as the kids got to write their name in each book.
This act was a great treasure to the kids and they are still talking about the bookmarks they received. The remaining books were shared with the rest of the school; God will use them to make a difference in the lives of the kids.
How will you chose compassion today?
