This was my favorite moment from my book signing yesterday.
I brought a couple of suitcases with me to the event, just in case. But once I showed up, Leslie Smart with Catholic Charities USA donated a TON of suitcases from their store to my mission. I was blown away by their generosity!
Every time someone walked by my booth, I would call out a question: “Hey, do you know of any foster children?”
A few people did. One in particular was a little girl in a blue T-shirt. She told me she’d be back in a bit, and returned an hour later with a little blonde boy.
Seeing his face when he saw the big tower of suitcases was priceless. As he ran out of the mall with his brand new bag, holding his foster sister’s hand, I felt my heart grow.
I take zero credit for providing this boy with hope in a suitcase.
The suitcase was originally donated by a random stranger to the thrift store. The thrift store then donated the bag to me. All I did was ask a little girl if she knew of any foster kids, and she amazingly brought one to me, so I could hand over the gift that was originally from somebody else.
Do you see what I mean?
Charity is a trickle down job. No one does charity all entirely on their own. Communities come together, hearts come together, and by doing that… we make a difference.
Remember: I cannot do all the good that this world needs, but the world needs all the good that I can do today.
