When H was 4 years old, she made an "offering can" in Sunday School. At first we put our spare change in it and she took it as her offering on Sundays. However, over time it has become our "missions can". Spare change goes into it and we have money for the kids to give for special mission endeavors, mostly our Lottie Moon Christmas offering each December.
A few days ago H decided to count the money to see how much was in the can. After she counted it, she started looking at the dates and separating them accordingly.
I passed by as she got very excited about one particular coin. She began to explain to me the piles of coins.
"This pile is from when I was alive, you know, like the 2000's.
This pile is the different ones, like with different things on the back.
And this pile is the old ones. You know, like from the 1980's and times like that."
I simply walked up the stairs thinking how "old" I must be.

I know how you feel. One of my students recently asked me if I could give him a first hand account of what is was like during the Dust Bowl. He needed the information for a history essay. I said, "I beleive the Dust Bowl took place in the 1930s." He replied, "Yes, so what was it like?"
