The little child’s gift to church is returned
Children. Bless their hearts. They learn early that it is good to give.
Barbara A. Davis, of Lebanon, remembers when her son Jeff was nearly 1 year old, and she took him to church for the first time.
She said that when they passed the collection plate, little Jeff watched people dropping envelopes and cash into the plate.
When the plate was passed in front of Jeff, he reached over and generously dropped his teething ring into the plate.
“Some nice person in the next pew noticed the gift, retrieved it, and passed it back to us,” Barbara said. “There were many smiles in church that day.”
