The Heart of Servanthood
When I handed the seven-year-old boy a book, he said, “Really? I get to keep this? You mean forever? This is the best!” I have the privilege of volunteering with an organization called Books for Keeps, which allows children to pick out 12 free books. When you hand a child a book and hear that child say, “This is my first book!” or “Really? I can keep it? I’ve never kept a book!” you experience a joyous high. They call us volunteers, but we should have to pay for the experience!
