The Joy of Stewardship

Yesterday, at the 10:30 am Mass, as I was in the Communion Procession, I was stopped by two little, six year old girls whom I know well. One of them said to me, "Sabrina, can we give this money to Church?" When I looked down to see what money she was talking about, I saw a two shiny coins in her small hand - a nickel and a penny. I replied, "Of course, you can give that money to Church! After Mass is over, you can go put it into the collection basket". At that the two little girls literally  jumped for joy (as only 6 year olds can do!), gleefully saying "Yay!!!". If only we could learn to give of ourselves so joyfully!
