Show Me The Money!

We started a mission jar for Chase to save his money in after my mom had shared an experience she had with a childhood friend. I loved the idea and all of the good that it represented. At the end of the year, we have gather all of the change from his jar and from all over the house. After three years of rolling change, we have ended up with a substantial amount for his mission account. We went to the bank on Friday to officially open his account. It was really fun! The lady made a big to-do about it for him. She had him sign his name on all of the documents, which was so stinkin' cute. While the lady was away from her desk processing information, I mentioned to Chase the amount that we were depositing and talked to him about how awesome this was and what a blessing it was for his mission, which I am sure will come way toooooo fast. On the way out to the car afterwards, Chase, while holding my hand and skipping, exclaimed,

"Oh, I am so glad that I am not poor anymore! I used to be poor, but now I'm not! I'm so glad!"

Really, if life were this simple, we would be a happier people!
