Crazy Money Day – Class Buys Boy Tennis Shoes

It’s Crazy Money Day!

I love learning about people who give generously, and this story got me. Several years ago, students at a Texas high school learned that J.R., a classmate with special needs, wore boots that were 2 ½ sizes too small. So they banded together and raised nearly $180, enough for two pairs of new tennis shoes.

They presented him with their gifts in a video that’s gone viral. J.R. excitedly unwraps the shoes exclaiming: “You got my favorite kind! You got my favorite color!” It’s equally sweet to see the joy on his classmates’ faces. It reminds me of the truth that “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts: 20:35)
