A Big Heart

Tonight we drove into Knoxville, for our monthly trip to Sam's and we decided to eat at Fudruckers...Kids eat free!!!

My son Nathaniel (6) was playing the claw machine, 25 cents let's you play until you win! Great Deal. Everyone's a winner! Well, he won the coolest Light Up Yo-Yo.

The kid behind him told him, "If you give me your yo-yo I will win you another one while you are eating." Note: there was only 1 or 2 yo yo's in the whole claw machine, plus the yo yo is heavy, so the chances of winning another seem pretty slim. But Nathaniel with his BIG HEART gave his yo-yo to the kid.

When he came to the table and told us what happened. Inside we were upset. We felt the child was "tricking" him. So we explained to Nathaniel "you are so nice to give your yo-yo to the kid. We don't care what you do with your things. If your heart wants to be kind and give your things away go ahead and do so. But we just don't want someone to take advantage of you, bully you, or trick you. Just so you know he probably won't be able to win another yo-yo, ok? That's a very hard thing to win. Plus if he knew he could win one, why didn't he just win one for him self instead of taking yours and then try to win you one?!?!? Well Nathaniel, no matter what, if he doesn't win, you know like in the past, somehow, someday, you will be BLESSED back in return, right?" N: "Right, I don't care if he can't win it, it's ok."

Well about 10 min. later the kid came to our table with 2 yo yo's how he won it, beats me. All I know is God decided to Bless Nathaniel since he wasn't selfish! This is not the first time something like this has happened, Nathaniel has a BIG HEART!!
