Makes Me Think - Today, at the animal shelter where I volunteer, a little boy and his mom, who had adopted a kitten last week, came into our lobby carrying big bags full of food, toys, blankets, and other supplies we desperately need. The boy’s mom said, “Today is his birthday. Instead of birthday presents, he asked his dad and me to help donate to the shelter.” MMT

This gives me hope for the next generation, it does. I work at an animal shelter and this has happened for us on several occasions, and it's a blessing every time. I admire those kids so much, because I didn't care to do the same at their young age.
