A Generous Heart

Brenda gave me a pair of flip flops from Africa. They are black and beaded and beautiful. She wears a similar pair and had me try hers on a couple of weeks ago and said she had a surprise for me. Shortly after, she arrived with a gift for me. Now we can match. We didn't even plan the toes matching. We just have the same style I guess.

I almost slipped up and told Brenda that I have a secret myself. Today we were talking about her desire to go to school in the fall and I could hardly keep from blurting out, "WE'VE RAISED MORE THAN $3100 for you!" But I kept it in. I didn't tell. I want to have at least $4000 before she gets her hopes up.

So if you haven't donated, now is a perfect time. School starts in a month and I don't know how much longer I can keep this a secret.
