9."Don't you have any toys you want to share?"I asked my son during our church's Christmas toy drive."What about all those things in your closet you haven't used in years?""I don't have anything,"he said."We're so poor."
We're only"poor"because we refuse to buy him the phone he wants for Christmas,which would also require a monthly texting charge.
"You're not so poor you have nothing to give,"I found myself saying to him,a phrase my mother often used on me.
At work the next day,one of my students said,"I didn't spell your name right,"as she handed me a Christmas gift-a box of chocolates.No wonder she hadn't spelled it right-I'had only worked at the center for a couple of months,and my name is not easy to pronounce,even in English,which is this woman's second language.
I hadn't expected a gift-I worked at an adult education center,where we dealt with people who struggle economically.When I was hired,my boss told me she tries to keep snacks around the center and cooks"stone soup"once a week,where whoever can bring something in does,because"You will hear growling bellies here.They give their food to the children before they themselves eat."
And yet these people,so grateful for a second chance at getting an education,unable to sometimes even afford the gas money to come in,manage to do something for us nearly every week.Some bring in food; others do chores around the center.They help and encourage one another,and us.They give what they are able to give.
