Anthony's Response

We had the chance to welcome the mom and son who just arrived to the US from the Congo last night.

Anthony helped carry bags and furniture into their apartment and played gently with her son and two other young children who were there.

The social workers and other mom who were serving with us kept commenting on how helpful and sweet he was.

God has certainly blessed Anthony with a gift of wanting to help and knowing how to play with younger children.

When one of the ladies commented to him on how helpful he was, Anthony responded:

"God says, if we have two shirts, we should give to the one who has none. I learned that in a song..."

And he began to sing the whole song:

"Anyone who has two shirts, should share with the one who has none. Anyone who has food should do the same. Anyone who wants to be first, should be the very last and the servant of all, the servant of all."

She teared up.

I praise God for the opportunity to see how He is shaping Anthony's heart. What a gift to get to learn these truths and to then practice them with such special people!
