madison asked what the salvation army volunteers were doing outside the grocery store the second she got out of the car. i tried to explain that people walking in and out of the store put money in the bucket to help other people that don't have very much. on our way out she said she wanted to put money in -much to my surprise. i gave her some change and she walked right up and dropped it in the bucket. it became a regular thing and every time we saw someone ringing that little bell madison would get excited to give them money. i was excited for her to feel the spirit of giving at christmas time.
fast forward several weeks. we came home from church and the girls found a handout i received in young women's, wrapped in ribbon with a bell hanging from it. they were running around the house laughing and taking turns ringing it. next thing i know madison is tugging at my skirt and says,
"mom! put some money in my bucket!"
we laughed for awhile about that one.
