Be the change

by dianagirlyMay 3, 2008
For challenge 6 to use a play on words. I used " Change " reffering to both money and the action.

Journaling reads:
Drake had been doing chores for about 2 months earning spare change to buy a game that he wanted. One day when we were at the store, he noticed a jar of pennies with a picture of a young boy on it that was suffering from MS. Drake asked me who the boy was and what the money was for. I explained to him that the child was sick and the money was to help pay for his doctors and medicine. He immidately wanted to help too, and in went all of his money that he had worked so hard for. I had to choke back my tears as I watched him give it all with out a second thought. Here I had been trying to teach him a lesson about saving money but I was the one who learned the greater lesson. I am so proud of him and the way he so willingly gives.I'm not sure how much my son's four dollars in coins will change the other boy's life, but he sure made a change in mine.
