Last night before our connection group we were talking with Jason's parents about the adoption and specifically the financial hurdles involved with adoption. We left to go to group and when we came back to pick up three sleeping kiddos this is what we came back to.
Grampa's fun money! About $200 in change from a long time of emptying his pockets in his jar at the end of the day. The kids and Grampa had counted it together and talked about how it was to put in the Adoption Fund. This bag weighed about 15 pounds!
Children lead by example. This morning Payton emptied out her bank and grabbed a giant hand full of her money and put it in a bag. " I can share too! I what to adopt a lot of kids!" she said.
This is a fraction of what we will need to adopt but I'm already blown away! Grampa gave up his fun money and our kids witnessed it and it inspired them to do the same! Pretty sweet! Thank you Grampa John! I can imagine that Caedmon will get home from school and want to do the same. Either way, it's great to see our children excited about something outside of themselves!

I love what God is doing in their little hearts! It is awesome to be apart of!
What a sweet heart that little lady has! Makes me tear up. For as crazy as our 4yo's are they sure do have their amazing moments. :) Awesome that she had such a great example to follow in giving up something, too.
I LOVE it!
