Pennies all over the Floor
The words of a kids song keeps playing in my head, probably because I'm teaching it to the Primary children at school.
Love is something if you give it away...
You end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny,
Hold it tight and you won't have any.
Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many,
They'll roll all over the floor.
What does this kind of love look like?
Seeing my daughter in Nicaragua, giving of herself so freely with the Spanish speaking children there, helps me see how love flows two ways. With minimal language skills, she is helping with a VBS program for two weeks. Already she is experiencing love flow back across cultural and language barriers.
You can give even when you have nothing more than a penny's worth of abilities. You always have your time, your smile, your words, your friendship and your helping hands to hold tight to or else to give away. In the end, these gifts might mean more to someone than anything money could ever buy. Is there something that I'm clutching tightly to that would be better given away?
