So, I was just reading uplifting story about a young girl, her siblings, and her mom.
I was absolutely enjoying this read, and it was about an Easter offering at church. Her dad had just died and they were just scraping by but hearing the pastor say that, they decided to try to save money. The pastor shared with the congregation that they were going to give a special offering for Easter for a needy family.
I was loving reading the story because I could tell that the special Easter offering from the congregation was for her family. I read how it was raining on Easter morning and they did not have an umbrella so they were soaked and her sister’s foot got soaked because she had cardboard in them to patch the holes.
I read about how some kids were talking about other people’s attire and were all ‘judgy’ and stuff. I read that the priest was addressing the congregation and her mom gave each child $20 to give and she put in $10. They had saved $70 by scrimping. They decided to just get a 50 pound bag of potatoes to eat so they could save money for the family.
But then I started to cry a whole lot and so I put my phone down to blow my nose, and I lost the post!!!
I read the story on Facebook so I’m scouring Facebook to see if I can find it again. I’m sure I will, but it will take some time. I’m totally bummed that I didn’t get to read the entire story!!!
