Truly Human

Yesterday at church I gave Luka and Nadia each a $1 bill for offering.  Luka doesn't like paper money and refused to take his dollar so I gave Nadia both the dollars and gave Luka two quarters.  When it came time to give Nadia proudly put in her money, passed the plate to me where I placed my money and then held out the plate for Luka.  He looked at the plate blankly so I told him to put in his coins.  He held them to his chest.  I told him again and explained that the coins were for offering and didn't he see how Nadia and I gave our money?  He looked at me, looked at the coins and then quickly reached out, grabbed the box of crayons that was sitting on the pew and placed them in the offering plate!
