Wow.

Ben's parents offered me 390 dollars today so that I could go to Teen Camp in July.

It was overwhelming.
I didn't know what to say.
I cried.

And I can't go because of a Jamaica meeting.
But still.
390 dollars.

He didn't ask for anything back, he just said that their family is blessed with wealth so that they can do things like that for people in tight spots.

This is how the conversation went, just so you really understand.

Cindy Morris: So Sarah, I hear you aren't going to Teen Camp...
Me: Nope, I just paid 500 dollars for a mission trip so I'm a little strapped for money.
Tom: What? Why didn't you ask Pam and I for the money?!

And that is when I laughed. He did not laugh back. He was waiting for an answer.

Do you know what generosity is?

Because I don't think I did before today.
