Courage Comes In Small Packages

I was moved by an experience I had last night.  I volunteer at a transitional housing home, and while the moms are at various meetings, we volunteers take care of the kids.  About 3 weeks ago, I met a new mom with her two kids, a boy and a girl.  The first week, both kids just wanted to stay with their mom, understandably so!!  New people, new home, new fears.  The next week, the girl stayed but the boy just couldn't.  Last night, the girl AND boy stayed.  He worked through his fears, and was so courageous to stay!!  He ended up laughing and creating a beautiful card for his mother. I was so proud of him and inspired by him.
