Eduardo often comes in to help build furniture around our house, but in many ways, he blesses us with his love. Over the years, he's become a family friend, he joins Awakin Circles periodically and even our annual music program.

Recently, I had given him two hundred dollars for his services. That day, somehow, he ended up dropping the money before he reached his home. Being in tough financial situation, this was a significant amount for him so he looked everywhere and returned back to make sure he hadn't misplaced it. After some efforts, we both concluded that he had dropped it somewhere along the way and someone else had picked it up.

Then, Eduardo spontaneously said, "Well, in that case, I'm sure the person who took it must've needed it more than me."

His response touched me deeply.  We both smiled, and I offered a bit more money so I could partake in his sincere flow of generosity.
