Pass the Torch Tuesday

My daughter Reed is a special kid. All my kids are, but I wanted to highlight some of the nice things she has done. Nothing eartch-shattering or Nobel Prize-worthy, but definitely Pass-the-Torch-worthy. She is the kind of person that looks out for others and cares about their feelings. When she was in a play this summer, they did a praise song at the end of the play, using "tamborines" that they had made in crafts. When they were performing, she and a smaller girl reached for the same tamborine-- apparently one of theirs ended up on the wrong side of the stage. Reed reached it first, but immediately handed it to the younger child. Most kids would have taken it for themselves. The director saw what happened and handed her the other one and it was not a big deal, but I noticed. And my mom noticed. And I was proud.
Last night we were at a worship service for the theatre/art school. She and Spenser are in a handbell class and they were performing. At the end, the director asked Reed and his son to take up a love offering. As it turned out, Reed had several dollars and coins in her basket, and the little boy didn't get any. So she dumped some (most) of hers in his basket. It really didn't matter since it all went to the same place, but it mattered to the little boy. And I was very proud of her.

I am very proud of who she is and how she treats others.
