“Dad, I need your help. Come here！” My 5yearold girl pulled me towards the computer. “Dad, please buy everything I have in the Amazon shopping cart(购物车). Here, take this cash from my savings！” The shopping cart showed ten items for a total of about 130 dollars. “Wait！” I replied.“That's too much money! Why do you need all these things？”“Please, Dad！These items will get here before Christmas. I have a surprise for everyone.No peeking(偷看)！” she explained, and I bought everything.
A couple of days later, she got everything.I saw her then wrapping(包装) all her gifts. “Can I help you？” I asked.“No, Dad.I told you these are special surprises. No peeking！” she replied.Her excitement was obvious.
The day came.She was all around her gifts, planning, protecting, arranging. Everything had to be perfect. As soon as dinner was over, she jumped from her chair and took her gifts. She went around giving each one of us her piece of love.These were small items, but it was the meaning of giving her heart that we were really feeling.As she gave the gift to each person, she watched the expression on our faces. Our smiles were her greatest reward.Her last gift was for my 2yearold boy—a toy car. It was hard to describe my little boy's delight at getting this gift! For several minutes, everyone's attention was focused on watching him go all around the house happily.
Seeing these acts of my 5yearold helped me understand the power of giving—giving from the heart. Later that day, my girl received some gifts, but she didn't need them. She focused on others, not on herself.It was clear that she was the one feeling true joy.
